'71 LHD Volkswagen Bay Window Tin Top

'A raw, honest and hugely promising rolling project with the hard-to-fake charm that only an authentic old Bay Window can deliver'.
 

For sale… this 1971 LHD Volkswagen Bay Window Tin Top, offered as a usable and road-legal project with excellent foundations and masses of potential for somebody wanting to build a cool, individual classic VW.
 

This is very much an honest old bus — raw, authentic and full of character rather than over-restored or over-finished. It runs and drives and remains road legal, making it the ideal sort of project to improve and enjoy gradually as you go.
 

Mechanically, it has recently benefited from a new exhaust and J-tubes, while the 1600 engine itself does have a little end float present but still runs. Inside, there’s a full-width rock and roll bed along with twin rear minibus seats complete with seatbelts, giving it a practical and versatile layout for camping, surfing, weekends away or simply enjoying the vintage VW lifestyle.
 

Taxed until January 2027 and offered with exactly the right sort of “usable project” energy, this Bay would make an awesome base for somebody wanting a genuine classic without the polished price tag.
