Spanner can help turn your car details into an advert.
Could suit you if…
- Your usual group fits within 4 seats, including the driver. Check passenger space and any child-seat fit in person.
- Many journeys are local or relatively short: petrol can fit that use without choosing diesel just for occasional long trips.
Think twice if…
- You need to carry more than 4 people together: the advert records 4 seats, including the driver.
- You need predictable ownership costs: this car is around 57 years old. Check service records, age-related work and condition, even if the mileage looks low.
- You need servicing to fit a tight budget: Spanner estimates higher maintenance costs for this type. Get quotes for the exact engine and gearbox before committing.
This is general guidance about this type of car and your needs — not an inspection or approval of this individual car.
Although the dealer lists 'Multivan', a 1969 VW Multivan refers to the Type 2 'bay window' Transporter/Kombi with an air-cooled flat-four petrol and a 4‑speed manual; originals are simple mechanically (no coolant system) and often still run 6V electricals or have been converted to 12V. These are rust-prone but have a strong enthusiast market in Europe, plenty of aftermarket repro parts, and frequently hold or gain value when well restored.
- Rust in floors, inner sills, sliding-door lower edge, wheelarches and the front/rear cross members (structural areas on this age are often badly corroded).
- Engine for oil leaks, crankcase/seal condition and noisy valve/tappet clearances; confirm if ignition is original points or upgraded electronic 12V.
- Clutch engagement and pedal freeplay, and wear on the clutch plate — replacement is common on older manuals.
- Gearbox synchro function and smooth selection across the 4 speeds (look for crunching or missed gears).
- Brake system condition (drum wear, wheel cylinders leaking, handbrake effectiveness) and suspension bushings/torsion bars for play.

The bus was fully restored and is finished in white over anthracite silver. The bus has the correct truck-rated tyres and upgraded suspension. The underside has been coated with red oxide paint and undersealed. The interior has recovered seats in marine-grade vinyl (cream with silver piping) and an engineering wood floor. All window seal rubbers have been replaced and it has a new stainless steel/rosewood steering wheel. Mechanically the bus is sound: all bearings were replaced, a reconditioned German steering box was installed, and brakes were renewed throughout including brake pipes. A new wiring loom was fitted and all electricals (lights and ignition system) were replaced and are working correctly. A new 1641cc engine and gearbox were installed in 2023. Reduction boxes were overhauled and a new exhaust, clutch and carburettor were fitted at the same time, improving reliability.
