Description/extras: Owner's manual. Step into a time machine of vibrant 1970s charm with this 1977 Volkswagen Type-2 Camper, a kaleidoscopic icon of road trip nostalgia.

Combining vintage appeal with practicality, this camper is ideal for collectors, adventurers, or anyone looking to stand out.
Underneath the eye-catching exterior lies a newly rebuilt 2.0L petrol engine paired with a smooth 4-speed manual gearbox, ensuring reliable and spirited performance for all your travels. With just 16,000 miles on the odometer, this camper has been meticulously cared for since the engine was rebuilt. Regular servicing has further ensured its longevity, preparing it for short drives and epic adventures.
Thanks to the bright orange interior, which perfectly complements the exterior’s dazzling design, this Type-2 Camper offers an equally bold and retro vibe inside. With seating for six, it offers space for family and friends, whether you’re heading to a festival, a camping trip, or simply cruising down the highway in style.
The vehicle boasts the iconic three-door layout, including a large sliding side door for easy access to the spacious cabin. The rear area can be customized for lounging, sleeping, or storage, making it versatile enough for all your travel needs. This camper's unique charm is undeniable, and it’s sure to turn heads wherever it goes.
While the camper is in excellent mechanical and aesthetic condition, two areas of very minor rust are worth noting. Slight bubbling has developed on the upper part of the windshield and the door's lowest part. These tiny spots do not detract from the vehicle's overall beauty or structural integrity. Addressing them now would be a simple touch-up, ensuring the camper remains pristine for years.
The custom rainbow paintwork has been beautifully executed, making this camper a unique showpiece. Whether parked at a campsite, displayed at a classic car meet, or featured in a parade, it’s guaranteed to steal the spotlight. The artistry reflects a true celebration of the free-spirited lifestyle that Volkswagen Campers have come to symbolize.
For those who value reliability, rest assured this camper has been maintained to a high standard. The rebuilt engine delivers solid performance, and the air-cooled system provides the classic VW experience. The 4-speed manual gearbox offers engaging driving, making every journey an adventure.
This 1977 Volkswagen Type-2 Camper embodies the perfect blend of nostalgia, style, and functionality. Its low mileage, rebuilt engine, and unique customizations make it a rare find, especially in this condition. It’s not just a vehicle; it’s an opportunity to own a piece of automotive history with a splash of personality.
Don’t miss the chance to own this incredible rainbow-themed camper. Whether you’re reliving the 1970s or introducing a new generation to its timeless charm, this Volkswagen Type-2 Camper is ready to hit the road and create unforgettable memories. Get ready to drive happiness!
