Model information
Type 2 Bay Window Panel Van
Info
This stunning Bay Window Panel Van was spotted in Tramore, Co. Waterford recently. It’s a daily driver that the owner bought almost 30 years ago from the previous owner, a plumber, for the massive sum of £100! Clearly he’s put time and money into getting it to and preserving it at this level but it’s still a fantastic return on his investment. We love the fun bumper insert strips and the Split Screen VW and AA badges mounted on the front grille but we also like that the owner has gone the extra mile and fitted raised silver digit number plates. This Type 2 is fun, extremely well maintained and is most definitely the pride and joy of its owner.
This particular Bay Window was finished in Sage Green (L63H) and first registered in Tipperary South in April 1979. It’s great to see old commercials being used on a regular basis as opposed to being converted into campers or being scrapped after a hard working life so we wish the owner many more happy miles behind the big Type 2 wheel.
