AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
HIGHLIGHTS:
• Rarer VW T2b executive vehicle (FüKW-TEL) of civil protection
• Powered by a 2.0-liter boxer engine delivering 51 kW / 70 hp
• First registration on 28.05.1980 with model year 1977
• Largely in original condition with original mission equipment
• Including separate FuG-7b radio system and 5m extendable mast with antenna
HISTORY/OVERVIEW:
The Volkswagen T2b, the redesigned second generation of the legendary transporter, served for decades as a versatile base for authorities and emergency services. The executive vehicle (FüKW-TEL) of civil protection functioned as a mobile command and telecommunications station during larger damage and disaster situations. The early version of the T2b in this configuration is today an absolute rarity; for the first generation, only 112 vehicles were documented as procured.
According to the existing original documents, this vehicle was handed over on 01.07.1980 by the District Government Braunschweig to the City of Göttingen and operated there under the registration number GÖ-8001 as a command vehicle with radio equipment. The chassis number points to the 1977 model year, while the first registration occurred on 28.05.1980. The vehicle remains largely in its original condition and preserves its historical significance as a rare government vehicle.
BODY/PAINT
Paint essentially intact, various polishes required. Occasional rust spots present.
INTERIOR:
The vehicle largely retains the original civil-protection mission equipment. Special equipment includes a complete FuG-7b radio system with accessories as well as a 5m extendable mast with antenna, intended for rear mounting. These components are supplied separately with the vehicle.
TECHNIQUE:
The vehicle is powered by a 2.0-liter boxer engine delivering 51 kW / 70 hp. The car is drivable; given its age, various basic maintenance tasks are needed. Transmission, brakes, and suspension are in good condition.
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle includes original documents proving the historical handover on 01.07.1980 from the District Government Braunschweig to the City of Göttingen. TÜV valid until 11/2027.

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.
