These versatile vans or microbuses feature many commonalities with the VW Beetle, including its friendly, purring air-cooled engine.

The Volkswagen Kombi, Type 2 or Bus as it’s informally known, is one of the German automaker’s most iconic vehicles. Despite gaining significant traction in the 1960s with the hippie movement, the Type 2 actually debuted in 1950. These vehicles shared a lot with the Beetle, including the iconic air-cooled flat-four engine. Today, they continue to enjoy a loyal following, even from those who weren’t born in the Fifties, Sixties, Seventies or even Eighties. This 1975 Volkswagen Kombi Pickup Transporter is a fine example that’s reported to have undergone a restoration, and has racked up just 2,000 miles since then. It’s also a 2-door pickup, which is rarer nowadays than the more common minibus variant.

The Land Rover Defender is one of the most well-known off-roaders in the world, respected for its go-anywhere abilities, uncomplicated mechanicals, and proven ruggedness. However, while the rest of the world was able to get their hands on this iconic 4x4, the U.S. only received a limited number of the original Defenders, making any that are found stateside particularly desirable today. Over the years there have been many different variations of the Defender, but few are as interesting as our featured car, a 1992 Land Rover Santana PS-10. Santana, a Spanish company, built Land Rovers under license beginning in 1961. The Land Rover Santana PS-10 was one of the last models sold under the Land Rover Santana brand, making this example of particular interest to collectors. The current owner reports all maintenance has been kept up to date, with the PS-10 getting new parts while also running its original 2.5-liter I4 diesel engine.
