Volkswagen/de Vries – other models: the collective page of vans with special bodywork outside the named ranges, 70X02D and Crafter, 2,800 to 3,500 kg gross weight, 4 to 5 cylinders

This page gathers vans on a Volkswagen chassis listed in the register with bodywork by de Vries, without assignment to a named range – the base type Crafter stands alongside the designation 70X02D for a further chassis with special bodywork. Such combinations of a VW chassis with bodywork from a third party are often listed in registration records under the bodybuilder's name alongside the base marque.

The register lists here 2 versions with a displacement of 1,968 cc, 4 to 5 cylinders, unladen weights from 2,390 to 2,682 kg, gross weights from 2,800 to 3,500 kg and widths from 2,130 to 2,210 mm.

With gross weights up to 3.5 tonnes, both versions fall into vehicle category N1, the light commercial vehicle segment; special bodywork of this size fitted to the VW chassis typically serves as a box body, a panel van with added fittings, or a base for specialised commercial use. Conversion onto a different chassis, such as the 70X02D type listed here, usually concerns only the body, while the drivetrain and running gear come from the base VW vehicle.

On a used example, besides the usual points such as the turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel and the condition of the diesel particulate filter, on units with special bodywork the tightness and condition of the body, the function of any additional wiring fitted, and corrosion at the mounting points between chassis and body all matter. Parts for the chassis drivetrain run through the VW commercial-vehicle trade.

What to check before buying

  • Check the hour meter against the service records — a replaced instrument is the most common gap.
  • Compare the data plate and chassis number with the papers.
  • Check the weights in the papers against the figures here — attachments change them.
  • Ask about parts availability for this build year — the running costs hang on it.
