2007 VW T2 Camper Van (Danbury)

- Everyone should experience at least one weekend in a VW T2 Camper Van and thanks to companies like classic-campervans.co.uk you can. We took their 2007 Danbury converted Brazilian built air cooled T2 called 'Molly' out for a tour around both the East Sussex and Kent coastlines and had a ball. Literally everyone, young and old, who walked past wanted to admire, touch and find out more. This was the motoring equivalent of getting a puppy and so definitely comes highly recommended.

I just bought a 1980 Westfalia and am currently living in it. I've never been so excited about life while only having the small number of possessions that fit in my van!
Sheraton Welch Sometimes we mention commitment to the cause but I think you win. Yes living in a T2 would make you think twice about buying more stuff. Well done. True commitment to the cause. Matt,
One of the best camper vans ever built. I can attest to that!
Hi Matt I picked up a 2006 air cooled Brazilian t2 in August last year best thing I’ve ever done had a great couple of months done nearly 3000 miles till November under cover now can’t wait till the spring to get Douglas out again get review mate 👍
Nice. Enjoy your next 3000 miles too. 😄
I’m getting ready for my first ever weekend away in my t2 camper and this video has really got me in the mood!!
You'll love it.
Your vw van it's perfect! Too many greetings from Querétaro México
Nice video! I've always loved the T2s :)
Great video, enjoyed this.
dude. your video was great. ive always wanted a bus....ive had a bug.....but ive always wanted to hear a basic runthru of bus vs. bug. learned a lot here. thanks man.
Thanks. Very much appreciated.
Matt.
Nicely done, well explained and thank you.
Samantha Hallam Hey thanks. Means a lot. Matt.
Great video! I want one now!
Many thanks. Matt.
i love this car
Nice! I have a 1978 Westy that I am restoring. Wish we Americans here in the "Land of Free" were truly free enough to buy whatever we wanted to drive i.e. cars/trucks/vans from around the world. Would be nice to buy a European car that gets good mileage all while looking interesting and getting good mileage. Here small generally means cheap.
I saw a video clip of the 2013 Brazilian VW Kombi, and the engine made hardly any sound. What's the difference between this one and the 2013 Kombi engine?
This one is making a lot more sound.
Around 2005 the Brazilian T2s moved from a 1.6 air cooled flat four, like the one in the video. To a 1.4 water cooled engine taken from the VW Fox. The latter is much quieter. Matt.
@@ClassicCarsDriven Ah ok. I'm a novice when it comes to cars. Can I ask you a question. If suppose someone buys an older version of VW T2, and replaces the engine to a 1.4 water cooled VW Fox engine, will that older version vehicle also become quiet as in the latter ones?
@@tamerlane7 No problem. Quite a bit of work to fit one, radiator at the front etc. but yes in theory would name it much quieter. 😀
@@ClassicCarsDriven Actually the reason I was wondering if it was possible was because the later versions of the VW T2 are very expensive. So I thought if I bought a classic one which would be a lot more cheaper, and spent a few thousand pounds on it, and put in that vw fox engine, then I could make the engine quieter, then that would be my only realistic chance of doing that. I can't afford to buy it for £30k plus.
The reason for doing that might sound a bit silly, but I actually love my music on while driving, therefore that quieter engine would be the best option for me :)
@@tamerlane7 This looks like a useful forum: www.vwkd.co.uk/bb/
Would be nice if Danbury did a version with the Subaru Boxer Diesel installed in it !!!
I hired one in the UK - was spotless - BUT - when I got it - it had just come out from getting a reconditioned engine...... work was very shoddy that was done on it, I don't think it had been tested first. Loose fan belt , engine kept stalling when I stopped, had to keep revs up on accelerator...... and tracking was way off...... I could not get above 40 mph without it pulling to the left... and going down hill had problems getting to a lower gear. I love these units but guess I got mine at the wrong time as the actual driving was a nightmare for me... I never even got a return on my money paid. as I had to cut short my trip for two days. The guy who dealt with the firm wasn't even around when I handed it back. Lesson learnt - test drive first before handing money over...... it has put me off hiring one again.
That is a real shame, sorry to hear it. Matt.
Very smart ;)
Yes it did look cool in that particular blue and with those alloys as well. Matt.
Would be nice to have a small turbo diesel four door pickup truck i.e. Toyota Hi-Lux or the GM or Ford equivalent. 30+ mpg. Or a 30+ mpg TDI Eurovan. Or one of these Danbury conversions - even without the camper conversion. I'm okay with the air pollution upgrades necessary to get it clean enough but let me decide if I want to drive an old safety tech vehicle like a VW Transporter. Nope, my nanny gov't keepers say I can't. I could however go buy a motorcycle. Ugh!
se mostra se a kombi era melhor
Noisy!.... I said NOISY!
The video would have been better if a noise-canceling microphone, placed close to the driver had been used. The camera mic picked up far too much road and engine noise.
Dead right Ray, although something we only sorted out after doing this review. Matt.
Hi Matt: OK...I'm glad that you are aware of the issue. Next review will be better. :)
The rims are awful
Use stock ones
What a poor review! I,am non the wiser!
