VW Camper Query

Here's a pic of a VW Camper.

I thought this model was out-of-prodn, and in the "Classic" category. So how come it's got 2012 reg plate? And, moreover, what's that grille on the front panel for?

NB: Note its RHD.

Thre's bound to be some VW experts on here.

They're still made new in brazil I believe!!

Dick Axtell - 7/6/13 at 05:04 PM

RHD versions as well????

It will be water cooled The last VW transporters on the UK had water cooled engine, a Golf unit hanging out the back coupled to the normal type 2 transaxle

Yep, you can buy them from Brazil, brand new.. grille on the front is to hide the radiator (some have a fake spare wheel cover on the front with lots of holes in them for the rad).

Something like £26k I think?

Devon Conversions import them on a regular basis and camperise them, the WU plate is a devon registration

That would make sense. Presumably an RHD conversion as well?

It's a Danbury I would guess. Production stops in Brazil this year I believe. £30 to £50k if you want one.
