The seller offers for sale this 1976 Volkswagen T2b, which has been converted into a camper and extensively restored. Originally modified in 1986 with a Eurec camper conversion, it underwent a more recent refurbishment in 2016, including a Helsinki repro Westfalia interior. The bodywork was repainted and refreshed.
This camper is powered by a 1600cc air-cooled four-cylinder engine paired with a manual gearbox. The drivetrain remains true to its classic origins, offering a laid-back driving experience. The camper conversion includes an interior setup designed for practicality, making it ideal for road trips.
The exterior presents well, with the paintwork in good condition, though some minor imperfections are visible upon close inspection. The interior is in similarly good shape, with minor signs of use consistent with its age and function as a camper. The vehicle is in a ready-to-use state, driving, braking, and shifting as expected.
The Volkswagen T2b, part of the second generation of the iconic Transporter series, was produced from 1972 to 1979. It retained the beloved design and rear-engine layout of its predecessor but introduced various refinements, including a more robust chassis, improved ride comfort, and enhanced visibility thanks to a larger windscreen. By the mid-1970s, the T2b had become a favorite for camper conversions, particularly by companies such as Westfalia and Eurec.
The T2’s popularity was driven by its practicality, reliability, and unmistakable charm. Whether used as a workhorse, family van, or adventure camper, it remains one of Volkswagen’s most enduring models. Over the years, many T2s have been adapted for camping, making them highly sought after among enthusiasts. The Westfalia conversions, in particular, are known for their functional interiors, often including fold-out beds, compact kitchens, and smart storage solutions. This example follows in that tradition with a Helsinki repro Westfalia-style layout.
