1973 Volkswagen Kombi – Pop Top Camper
Few vehicles capture the spirit of the 1970s quite like the Volkswagen Kombi. Beloved around the world as the ultimate symbol of freedom, travel and counterculture, the Kombi became a favourite of surfers, families, and adventurers alike. Today, camper variants with pop-tops remain especially sought-after, blending nostalgic charm with practical usability.
This 1973 Volkswagen Kombi is a pop-top camper, equipped with seating and cushions, a storage cabinet, and a ready-made platform for a mattress — a simple yet functional setup for weekends away or restoration into a period-correct camper. Finished in Light Blue, it shows rust, paint damage, dents, marks and scratches consistent with age, and the vendor notes the driver’s door does not open from the inside.
Despite its imperfections, the Kombi presents as an authentic project camper with all the right fundamentals: a straight-forward 1.6L petrol engine, 4-speed manual transmission, and the iconic body shape that remains instantly recognisable worldwide. With restoration or sympathetic preservation, it has the potential to become a standout classic camper.
