The Allure of the Classic T2 Campervan
The Volkswagen Type 2, affectionately known as the T2, is more than just a vehicle. It’s a symbol of freedom, adventure, and a bygone era of road trips and exploration. First introduced in the 1950s, the T2 campervan quickly became a beloved icon. Celebrated for its distinctive shape, pop-up roof, and vibrant colour schemes. Today, it stands as a nostalgic reminder of the 60s and 70s, often evoking memories of the open road.

The versatility of the T2 makes it a fantastic choice for a variety of genres and settings. Whether it’s a nostalgic flashback in a drama. A quirky road trip in a comedy. Or a vibrant festival scene, the T2 adds a layer of visual interest and historical authenticity. Its instantly recognizable silhouette and charm can transport audiences back in time. Making a classic VW an invaluable asset for filmmakers and TV producers.
Campo the sky blue VW Camper was ‘CAMPO’ in the much loved children’s BBC programme ‘Grandpa in my pocket’ starring James Bolam as grandpa. Campo was specially painted for this roll. Boats, seagulls and grassy sand dunes adorned bodywork.
