The VW Camper Van Blog is a website for lovers of all types of VW campers from Split Screens and Bays to T25’s and T4’s.

This weeks Readers Rides comes from Amy from Kendal in Cumbria who shows us her1969 Low Light Early Bay Window Camper Van named ‘Dolly’.

Amy loves her van so much she has decided to share it with the world by hiring it out for camping holidays in the Lake District or Yorkshire Dales. For more information regarding hiring Dolly, please visit their website.

About the van

Dolly is a 1969 early bay, type 2 Volkswagen camper van. She has a reconditioned engine so she goes a bit quicker than when she left the factory.

Dolly was born in Germany but lived in South Africa in 1969 and in her early years she was painted Red. We started the restoration in 2005. She changed colour to what you see now and has been known to win Best in Show awards.

Dolly has a reconditioned air cooled engine but her heart is still 40 years old.

Thanks to Amy for sending in the photos of her Early Bay Window Van. If you want to take the van out for a spin don’t forget to have a look at Amy’s Lakeland Camper Hire website.
