The ultimate specification split screen being factory German built, UK supplied from new in Right Hand Drive format. 1967 was the last year of production in Germany of the T1 Split Screen and when they had brought the design to its peak.The bus is also a walk-through model meaning you can walk from the front to the rear without the need to exit. Not only does this give a nice spacious overall feel to the bus, but it also offers a lot of convenience in multiple circumstances. These factors make combined make for a highly desirable vehicle.The icing on the cake is that the bus also features a full width side elevating Dormobile Roof. We have seen / installed many roofs over the years to these buses and can really vouch for the Dormobile version as being not only the most iconic, but certainly one of the very best roofs out there in terms of quality and design.It complements the bus so well and allows for not only much increased headroom, but it also has twin fold out bunks / hammock frames with canvases suitable for children / small adults to sleep. This effectively makes the bus alone a 4-berth vehicle with further options to add an awning to increase space even more. There are various options for this that can be discussed with us if desired.This bus has undergone an extensive restoration where it has been stripped down and meticulously prepared prior to being primed and painted in Pastel Blue / Off White. These colours flawlessly compliment this era of motoring and capture the iconic feel of the 1960s. The bus has had a fortune spent on upgrades alone to the mechanical specification so that it drives in a way that can accommodate modern roads far better than it would have from factory spec. A summary of the mechanical spec includes but are not limited to: 1641cc Twin-Port Fully Reconditioned engine with Twin Delorto carburettors and breathers. Provides plenty of power and runs smoothly throughout the rev range.Stainless Steel Exhaust SystemBosch Alternator. 12v twin batteries, Split charge relay. Replacement 12v wiring loom IRS / Independent Rear Suspension upgrade allowing both rear wheels to move up and down independently thus improving ride comfort. Front beam with adjustable ride height.Front disc brake conversion / brake upgrade. Empi Quick shift gear linkage upgrade allowing ease of gear selection. Moving on to the interior. We specialise in the build of bespoke interiors, particularly for these buses and over the years we have optimised what we believe to be the best design / layout for a split screen bus. We prefer to install a full width rock n roll bed over the smaller width ones as we consider comfort for camping / sleeping of primary importance. Therefore, you have a full width rock n roll bed which in effect starts as a 3 person forward facing seat that pulls down with ease to create a large bed. The quality of the components we use shouldnt be confused with that of a lot of other interiors. We have tried and tested many products over the years and have hand selected the very best in all areas.The main cabinet sits behind the drivers bulkhead and is built to accommodate the latest Waeco NRX80 fridge which is installed using their matching flush mount frame kit. This is the best camper van fridge on the market in our professional opinion. It runs on 12v and automatically switches to 240v when connected to mains hookup without you even needing to flick a switch. It also has a fully removable freezer section so you can choose how to manage your internal space. There is a CANSRLFL1402 double gas burner / sink with tap. These are equally fantastic and work well within the space. The rock n roll skirting board is built with curved edges to sit flush with the bed frame and the cabinet has curved corners to match. They also both feature raised and recessed plinths to allow for an ambient RGBW LED lighting kit to be installed which can be set to cool white, warm white or an enormous array of different colours for effect as well as cycling through the colours for party mode. Great fun and also very functionalThe flooring is top quality LVT featuring premium chrome inlays for feel of opulence throughout. This comes at great expense to us but really sets off the impression of the bus and gives a unique quality look and feel. The bus has been fully upholstered throughout in Mystic Grey vinyl with luxury light blue fabric inserts on the front seats, door cards and all across the bed cushions. The fabric on the bed cushions has a lovely soft feel and unlike vinyl on top will not get sticky when camping if its hot. Its these little touches that make a big difference to enhance the overall experience.240v Mains Hookup. 12v Leisure Power and internal USB socket. Removable pedestal island table which stows
Fantastic people to deal with. I’ve wanted a Karmann Ghia for years and found one at UK sports cars. Dealt with Sam all the way through the purchase process and was kept updated regularly on progress. Delivery today and the car is fantastic! Just what I wanted. Love it. Would definitely recommend dealing with them. They are excellent

We bought our 1967 split screen camper van from UK Sports Cars and had the best service and advice. It arrived today in brilliant condition along with lots of great communication and thoughtful information leading up to delivery. Sam has been excellent and Steve the delivery driver really great. So this is a five star rating to reflect the buying experience and customer care.

We purchased a 1967 Splitscreen from UK Sports Cars in April 2025. Sam made the process easy from start to finish. As we agreed to buy the bus prior to fit out, we were able to have input into the interior design, and some of the features. It has turned out a great bus, and we are very proud to have it join our family. We would recommend Sam and the team at U.K. Sports Cars to anyone considering taking the plunge into the world of VW T2 buses. Thank you, Sam. 🙌🏻

I bought my car from UK Sports last June (2024). It ran well making 2 long journeys of about 370 miles each before 'SORNing' it from December and re-taxing it from 1st April. The car was very well presented and demonstrated. There was no pressure to buy with my many questions being answered honestly. On the first day out this year it developed a fuel problem with what seemed a failed pump. While stopped, Paul drove by and pulled over to see what was wrong. After he left 2 lads from UK Sports arrived to tow the car to UK Sports. They found the fault and I collected the car the following Monday. The day after I made another trip of just under 400 miles. What more can one say, nothing but praise and thanks to all at UK Sports. The website is good with thorough descriptions of their cars. There is a good range of vehicles available.

I have had the pleasure of dealing with both Paul and Sam over several years from buying to trade in. As many reviewers and customers have stated, Paul and Sam place no pressure on sales, they communicate at a high level and want the best for all parties. They are approachable, proffesional and will ensure your journey/experience is the best it can be. I am an ongoing returning and fanatical customer to which they understand, make me feel valued and address my specific needs, even going above and beyond at times, a true testament of their proffesional working ethics and morals. Their working ethos and workmanship is of high quality and one I trust in. Thank you Paul, Sam and the Team, you really are hidden gems in this world.

Paul and his team diligently went through the car and got lots of tricky things right before I picked it up. They were so professional and I felt their genuine passion for Lotuses, came through in their customer service. Their eagerness to assist with my many questions, and requests, made the whole purchasing experience a pleasure.
