First registered on 9th May 1978, and believed to have begun life as a Devon Moonraker conversion on the Type 2 'late bay' platform, today, this 1979 VW Transporter (T2) is finished in Mexico Beige and Pastel White and presents with upgrades from the original conversion to offer more modern accommodation in a desirable classic VW camper package. Spatially, there is a 'pop-top' roof that is fantastic for opening-up the interior space, ideal for family holidays which the vendor purchased the camper for in 2021. Fitted with the 2-litre flat-four with 'Dellorto' carbs and a stainless exhaust, the camper was restored in 2004 and with a subsequent 'Camper & Commercial' magazine feature that gave mention of the 'rebuilt 2-litre with twin Dellortos and Scat C45 cam, 'BRM-style' alloy wheels, Ian Lyons Body Repairs and JE engines'.
In recent years the bus has benefitted from a re-trim and fresh pop-top roof vinyl. There are receipts on file for servicing, upgrades, maintenance and an engine overhaul. With in excess of £3, 000 spent in 2009, that included a brake overhaul Dometic fridge, a Propex Heatsource and a consumer unit. It is thought that JH Aircooled Engines also completed an engine overhaul at a cost of £993 at the time. More recently, the carburettors were set up in 2024. The camper is accompanied by invoices and receipts on file along with old MOTs, there’s a very recent 12 month MOT with no advisories on record.
