1971 Roof-Chopped Volksrod – Show-Quality Build In 2024, this unique 1971 Volksrod benefited from £8,500 worth of work at Type 2 Detectives in Cambridge, one of the UK's most well-regarded classic VW air-cooled specialists. The investment has ensured it is both mechanically sound and presented to a very high standard, making it an exceptional example of a custom Volkswagen.

The exterior features shaved doors and a clean, minimalist aesthetic, while the interior has been fully stripped back and finished with a smooth custom dashboard.
