Looking for the aesthetics of a classic Volkswagen camper van with the reliability of a modern engine? Look no further. We’re pleased to present this exceptional low-mileage Danbury-converted Brazilian Type 2 T2 Bay Window, powered by a water-cooled 1.4L engine from a Volkswagen Fox. This example further benefits from electric power steering and is presented in fantastic overall condition, which must be seen in person to be truly appreciated.
Danbury was a well-known importer of Brazilian Type 2 Bay Windows, converting them into practical camper vans by fitting essential camping equipment and converting the driving position from left to right-hand drive. They offered two interior layouts: the ‘Diamond,’ featuring a full-width rock-and-roll bed, and the ‘Rio’ layout found in this particular camper.
The Rio layout includes a 3/4-width rear bench that functions as a three-seater with seatbelts and folds out into a bed, along with a kitchenette featuring a sink with cold-water tap, fridge, twin gas hobs, gas grill, and a collapsible table. Additional features include ample storage compartments, interior lighting throughout and a removable pedestal table stowed behind the nearside seat, which also houses a camping toilet.
This camper also benefits from a Sony head unit offering Apple CarPlay, Android Auto, DAB radio and a retrofitted reversing camera. Powered by the leisure battery, it allows you to enjoy your favourite music and radio stations while you camp.
The leisure battery can be charged via a 240V mains hook-up or through split charging while the engine is running.
The vertically inclining pop-top roof is supported by gas struts for easy operation, providing generous standing room inside and sleeping space for two additional people above.
The exterior retains its classic charm, finished in a traditional two-tone colour scheme of Candy White over Cool Blue paintwork, complemented by Fuchs-style alloy wheels.
Equally suited to weekend adventures or longer getaways, this Brazilian T2 delivers the charm of a classic Volkswagen with the comfort, reliability, and usability of a contemporary vehicle. A truly exceptional example ready to be enjoyed.
