1965 Volkswagen Splitscreen Camper Unrestored Time Capsule For Sale

A rare opportunity to own one of the few original unrestored RHD Devon converted Type 2 Kombis left. 2 owners from new and the first for 43 years. This Devonette has never been welded and has only had remedial paintwork for dings or scratches over the years. I also have it on the best authority that it is completely original inside, right down to the washing up bowl and water container etc. It is a time warp example, still has original IZAlL toilet paper in the cupboards and Feu Du Orange air freshener in the seating area!

The White roof was a Devon option and is correct.

I have diaries of the mileage and fuel used from the day it was collected from McNamara Motors VW in 1965. There are lots of stickers showing the trips it has taken to France and Belgium which tally with the diaries.

“Charlie” drives great for a Splitscreen VW! The engine starts instantly and pulls strongly. Brakes are really good. Gearbox engages as it should and isn’t noisy. A perfectly usable 56 year old! I have just had Charlie MOTd and it has no advisories.

Selling on behalf of a client, I have lots of videos available showing interior, exterior and underneath. Please understand, this Volkswagen is not a mint restored example. It has imperfections, however minor that make it the rare find that it remains. But as a true original unrestored survivor it is a great opportunity if you value that above pristine ( and expensive ) rebuilds.
