This 1979 Volkswagen Transporter, also known as the Type 2 or T2,
sports a vibrant metallic purple with a two-tone scheme, featuring
a bright white top and interior. This classic vehicle is part of
the second generation of the Type 2 series, celebrated for its
practical design and functional versatility. It's powered by an
air-cooled, 2.0-liter flat-four engine mounted at the rear,
producing approximately 70 horsepower sufficient for its
utilitarian tasks. Paired with a four-speed manual transmission,
this setup is designed for durability and straightforward
maintenance, ideal for the vehicle's role.
The design of the Transporter is characterized by a forward-control
or cab-over-engine layout, which notably maximizes the interior
space within a relatively short wheelbase. This layout has made the
Transporter a favorite for leisure use, easily adapted to camper
conversions. The model features a sliding side door alongside a
standard rear hatch, offering convenient access to the cargo area
or rear passenger seats. Inside, the bright white interior includes
the driver and front passenger seats, along with two rear bench
seats, accommodating multiple passengers comfortably.
Additionally, this Transporter is equipped with tires that measure
a healthy 10/32 in tread depth and drum brakes that measure 4B,
ensuring that it remains in ready-to-use condition. It retains a
charm that continues to appeal to enthusiasts and collectors alike
and makes a head-turning conversation starter anywhere you go.
