Volkswagen Transporter 1984 Split Screen Camper Van. German Built & Right Hand Drive. Fully Restored.

We love an early Split Screen bus and are proud to offer this delightful example for sale. Being a 1962 model, this is considered an early bus, which means that it has many desirable features that are sought after amongst collectors and enthusiasts. These include the iconic small rear window and tailgate, small round rear light units, flat wheel arches, ice pick cab door handles and the original full width front bench seat which is very often shamefully replaced for later style seating.This bus has been the subject of an enormous restoration and has covered little mileage since completion having been kept garaged throughout the interim time. Restoration involved stripping the bus right back and replacing any required panels using brand new components with no expense spared. The bus was then carefully primed and painted in stunning light pastel blue / cream and polished to a lovely finish. Mechanically, the bus had its old wiring removed and a brand new 12V wiring loom and fuse box installed. Electrical components have also been upgraded wherever necessary. The mechanical system has been overhauled and the gearbox replaced with IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) to allow for superior ride quality and a higher top end speed in 4th gear. Fully reconditioned 1600 Twin Port engine which starts on the turn of a key and runs effortlessly with all new ancillaries. The bus is also running on a set of rare and original 15 inch steel wheels with brand new polished stainless hubcaps.Bespoke interior for featuring the following:Cabinet designed to cover the full width of the bulkhead with an extended section at the far end in order to house all required appliances.
