advice.. guidance on vw t2
Turbo Mini Forums

I know a few people on here have them... 70-73 kind of year, tin top.. what to look out for?
Obviously rust.. but where is there hidden areas/normal areas (like how minis have there sills, roof gutters, boot floor as there most common.. but how flitch n heel board can be hidden, so where are the campers areas?)

Other main points to look? I know about end float on the crank but not much else? I would get it checked out properly before i buy but im having a looky at it tomorrow so some pointers for now will be much appreciated!

Also i know its like saying 'how much are minis worth?' Is like saying is how long is a bit of string but roughly how much are these valued at/ actually sell at?

Thanks in advance !!!

I have had 12
They rust everywhere, chassis is the real killer of t2's everything else is fixable

Depends on how mint it is
A good friend of mine is thinking of selling his and he's in London
It's just had an engine rebuild and a lot of the rust sorted
Full camper spec but has been hand painted (sky blue which it is originally)
Think he's looking for £6500

Its a 72 banbury conversion, really is a survivor car! Original paint, wheels, interior.. updated running gear all fuel lines, engine ancillaries, window rubbers etc.. its got a new custom narrow front axle and the rear chassis' been notched so its low! Were talking 5 figures..

Also... it has an original tow bar fitted, now this maybe a really cruel thought but as soon as i saw it i thought ooo... could it possibly pull a lightweight mini on a small lightweight trailer?? I automatically thought thats cruel for the poor old bus but the owner said hes seen buses pull 900kg caravans?
Is this possible or cruel? (Engines 1600)

I had a 72 tin top danbury

plenty of people pulled trailers and caravans with 'low powered' cars in the past. Assuming it can legally tow the weight, I suppose it would come down to how fast you want to get anywhere
