Description
Few vehicles in automotive history have captured the public’s imagination like the Volkswagen Type 2. Introduced in 1950 following the overwhelming success of the VW Beetle, the Type 2, also known as the Transporter, Microbus, or Kombi, was Volkswagen’s answer to the growing demand for a versatile, affordable utility vehicle.
Hilton & Moss are proud to present this beautifully restored 1962 Volkswagen Type 2 15-Window Deluxe. A stunning example of this beloved icon brought back to life with no expense spared.
Imported from Oregon and road registered in the UK in May 2008, this Type 2 has been subject to a comprehensive and detailed restoration.
Finished in an elegant Turquoise over Blue-White two-tone paint scheme, this example showcases a concours-quality restoration throughout. The bodywork has been carefully returned to factory specifications, while the paint and brightwork present in as-new condition. Period-correct detailing, including the original-style hubcaps and badging, complete the look with authenticity and flair. Additional details include the extended roof ‘hat’ and bi-parting side doors.
Inside, the craftsmanship continues with a bespoke, Oak interior trimmed in rich mahogany leather, setting a tone of understated luxury. Every element, from the bench seats and headlining to the dash and interior panels, has been custom-finished to an impeccable standard, blending classic design with modern refinement. The rear ‘living space’ folds down to become a sleeping area, whilst ample storage space can be utilised in a well thought out manner. Under the bench seats, 13 amp plug sockets can be found alongside an electrical breaker, with further storage. A Pioneer amplifier and speakers complete the interior.
Whether you’re seeking an automotive investment, a showpiece for your collection, or the ultimate vintage cruiser for summer escapes, this 1962 Type 2 offers unmatched style, nostalgia, and usability.
