About the Volkswagen Type 2 (Kombi) T2

The second-generation Volkswagen Type 2, widely known as the T2 or the "Bay Window" due to its large, single-piece curved windscreen, was produced globally from 1967 through to an incredible 2013, with European manufacturing concluding in 1979 and Brazilian production continuing to fulfill immense international demand for a low-cost, reliable workhorse. Retaining the classic rear-engine, rear-wheel-drive layout of the T1, the T2 featured a modernized, more angular front end alongside significant mechanical upgrades such as an improved suspension system, optional disc brakes, and larger, more powerful air-cooled (and later, water-cooled in Brazil) flat-four engines. This generation offered an array of versatile configurations, including the beloved Westfalia Camper, Single and Double Cab (Doka) pickups, Panel Vans, and multi-passenger Microbuses. Within the classic car landscape, the T2 holds a strong and highly active market value, generally serving as a more accessible yet highly desirable alternative to the earlier T1 models, with early "Cross-over" models (featuring the low-mounted front indicators) and original Westfalia campers commanding top tier prices. Its desirability is exceptionally strong, fueled by its status as an enduring symbol of 1970s counterculture, classic surfing lifestyle, and adventurous road trips. Consequently, the buyer pool is incredibly broad, encompassing vintage Volkswagen purists, lifestyle-oriented families seeking a charismatic weekend camper, and younger enthusiasts drawn to its retro aesthetic and vibrant enthusiast community.
