AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Rare VW T2b leadership vehicle (FüKW-TEL) of civil protection
• Powered by the 2.0-liter boxer engine with 51 kW / 70 HP
• First registration on 28.05.1980 with model year 1977
• Largely in original condition with original mission equipment
• Includes separate FuG-7b radio system and 5m folding mast with antenna
HISTORIE/ÜBERBLICK:
The Volkswagen T2b, the upgraded second generation of the legendary transporter, served for decades as a versatile base for authorities and emergency services. The leadership vehicle (FüKW-TEL) of civil protection acted as a mobile command and communications post in major damage and disaster situations. The early variant of the T2b in this configuration is today an absolute rarity; for the first generation only 112 vehicles procured are documented.
According to the available original documents, this vehicle was handed over on 01.07.1980 by the Braunschweig District Government to the city of Göttingen and used there under the registration GÖ-8001 as a command vehicle with radio equipment. The chassis number points to model year 1977, while the first registration took place on 28.05.1980. The vehicle is largely in its original condition and preserves its historical significance as a rare government vehicle.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road. It is advised to carefully read our submission guidelines that further describe details about the condition grades and types to manage your expectations. Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration. Neither the seller nor Catawiki is responsible for the registration of the vehicle in your country and will not accept a cancellation for your failure to register the vehicle. We also recommend that, if possible, you arrange a viewing with the seller before placing a bid.
