HISTORY FILE
Registered on the 9th March 1972 this UK RHD specification Type 2 was converted to a camper by Dormobile when new and enjoyed in this capacity since. In 2010 the owner embarked on an incredible journey to produce. at vast expense. a show stopping but useable motor caravan. Bills in the history file amounting to tens of thousands will absolutely reassure the next custodian that no area escaped scrutiny and refurbishment. Such was the high standard of finish that on the vehicles first outing after the long restoration a second place award at Blenheim Palace Show was won. Also included in the history file is a wonderful four page feature in VW Camper & Commercial Magazine. A full complement of keys are present.

MOT September 2015. Tax Exempt. HPI Clear and Approved Used Car Check Certificate.
