A piece of VW history....

Well, we didn't know it at the time but our little VW is in a very small way a piece of VW history. It's not the most sort after conversion, nor is it the most practical, however original VW  T2 Holdsworths are becoming very rare with one estimate I heard of less than ten examples left!

I'm guessing that these are rare because the Holdsworth T2 conversion was cheaper than most other conversions and it also was made from a panel van, meaning the windows are cut into the metalwork rather than the window surrounds being formed at VWs Wolfsburg factory in Germany, this makes them generally less desirable.

I did find some copies of an original T2 Holdsworth brochure...





Our interior is basically Layout 1 without the poptop and without the fridge. It does have a storage hole at the far side of the cooker which can't be seen in the above photo.





When we received the bus the interior was just thrown in the back, there were some hideous green curtains and the original seats cushions were totally threadbare and beyond repair. Importantly it was complete which makes restoring the bus to its original specification a much easier task.
