The Volkswagen Type 2 is one of the most recognizable vehicles ever made. Launched in 1949, its simple air-cooled, rear-engine design offered incredible versatility, serving as everything from a commercial workhorse to a family camper. The first-generation (T1) 'split-window' models, produced until 1967, are especially iconic and became symbols of 1960s counter-culture.
Collectors prize the Type 2 for its nostalgic charm, simple mechanics, and practicality. The most desirable versions are the T1 Deluxe Microbuses, known as 'Samba' models, which feature 21 or 23 windows and a cloth sunroof. These rare variants command the highest prices. The second-generation (T2) 'bay-window' is also popular and offers improved drivability for those looking to use their Bus regularly.
The market for the Type 2 is very active, with an average price of around $32,574 across 775 recent sales. Well-restored Sambas can easily fetch over $100,000, while driver-quality bay-window models and later T3 Vanagons offer more affordable entry points. Condition and originality are the primary drivers of value.
Prices range from $1,250 for project vehicles to $212,000 for pristine, highly sought-after examples.
5,994 Volkswagen Type 2 vehicles have been tracked across auctions and listings on Hypercars, with 2054 currently live. Sold prices range from $500 to $1,234,567.
