Classic 1980 VW Type 2 Campervan

Reluctantly for sale is my 1980 Volkswagen Type 2 Campervan.

Finished in classic red, this van is powered by a strong 2.0‑litre engine that pulls well and drives exactly as a classic VW should.

It’s Right Hand drive
Mileage c86k
Road Tax €56

Camper Features:

Fold‑out double bed – comfortable and ideal for overnight stays
Fitted cabinetry with ample storage for cooking and camping essentials

Mechanical Condition:

Engine is strong and healthy, with good power delivery
Gearbox is smooth with no issues
All electrics work as should
Steering good

There’s a small oil leak, which I believe is due to rocker cover gaskets needing replacement and could do with a set of tyres.

Body & Condition:

Overall, in good condition for its age
Chassis and underside were undersealed for long‑term protection
There are patches of outer body rust bubbling - cosmetic and typical for a van of this era
Structurally solid underneath
Chrome bumpers, door handles etc all in good condition.

This is an honest, original classic camper that’s ready to be enjoyed as‑is, while still offering scope for cosmetic improvement if you want to really make it your own. Prices for Type 2 campers continue to rise, making this a great opportunity to own a piece of VW history.
