Registration No: KNN 888VChassis No: the details belowMOT: ExemptEx-German Disaster Force camper vanOffered with much history and known as ‘Tango’2. 0 litre engine with Solex carburettorsIntroduced in 1968, the T2 generation of Volkswagen’s much-loved, forward-control Type 2, which has proven versatile enough to serve as a panel van, minibus, camper van and even fire engine, was immediately recognisable due to its adoption of a large single-piece windscreen. Nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’, the newcomer incorporated a revised half-shaft driveline to the rear which not only facilitated an increase in ride height but also improved handling. The T2’s lengthened wheelbase was welcomed by motor caravan builders if only because the increased interior space it yielded made conversion and customisation easier.‘Tango’ is a left-hand drive ex-German Disaster Force camper van powered by a 2-litre engine breathing through Solex carburettors. Slightly lowered, it rides on ‘gas burner’ alloy wheels and retains a siren and blue light on the roof (not tested). Fitted with a roller bed, it is said to easily seat 5 people when camping and has attended numerous festivals in the UK. Offered with much history from its time in Germany together with sundry items from its UK ownership, we understand it would benefit from some service work including carburettor adjustment and attention to the brakes etc.
