1979 Volkswagen T2 Campervan

Description

So, I’ve been slowly coming to terms with letting go of Daisy — our 1979 VW T2 campervan. It’s a proper restoration job, not just a paint job. The body’s been fully rebuilt, the engine’s a solid 2.0 litre, and it’s got only 30,734 miles on it. I found it in a shed in Cumbria, England, back when I was trying to find something with soul — and this one had it.

I’ve kept every receipt from the work done — there’s a stack of them, all neatly filed. It’s not flashy, but it’s got that quiet, steady charm you only find in old vans that’ve been treated right. I’ve driven it a few times since, and it’s still smooth as silk.

It’s not just a van — it’s a piece of my life. I’m not selling it because I don’t love it, I’m selling it because I’m ready to hand it over to someone who’ll really appreciate it. If you’ve ever dreamed of a van that doesn’t need a GPS and just goes where you want, this might be your kind of thing.

I’m not asking for a lot — just someone who’ll keep it safe, drive it gently, and maybe even take it on a bit of a road trip. The price is £14,400, but that’s not the point. The point is, it’s got a story, and it’s ready to start a new one.

If you’re the kind of person who’d actually enjoy driving something that’s been loved, not just bought, then I’d love to hear from you.
