The two-tone minty green and white is the kind of color you'd expect from the factory in the '60s, but it has the telltale shine of a much more modern application. VW would call these station wagons, but the distinctive shape earned these a "breadvan" nickname for how they maximized every inch of the wheelbase. But you can also see how much more distinctive this one is by the attractive metal and wood roof rack. Just ahead of that is a pop up tent feature. These are subtle hints at the substantial investment inside.The driver gets all the right comforts with a restored tan vinyl bucket seat, large steering wheel, and a gearshift within easy reach.

It makes for an unbeatable package that provides reliability and fun driving. These early second generation Type 2s are a favorite for many.
