VW T5.1 Shuttle SWB Adventure Day Van / Micro Camper - 147,000 miles
2012 VW T5.1 Shuttle SWB 2.0 TDI | Manual | 9 seats | New clutch & DMF | Professionally resprayed | Extensive upgrades
A genuinely individual and very well-maintained T5.1 Shuttle, thoughtfully developed as an adventure/day van with the ability to stay overnight, rather than a conventional full camper conversion.
I have owned and maintained the van carefully myself. It has been designed for day trips, cycling, kayaking and outdoor adventures, with a comfortable single-person sleeping arrangement.
The bespoke interior is completely removable, allowing the original Shuttle seating to be refitted and the van returned to its full 9-seat configuration.
