Description

A rare opportunity indeed to acquire a very special bus. This is the ultimate specification VW Split Screen being a factory Right Hand Drive model ideal for the UK market and a 1967 model., the last year of production in Germany for the T1 bus.

A thorough restoration has been carried out orchestrated by the previous owner which involved a bare metal strip down and many thousands spent on new panels from Klassic fab, a renowned company offering panels with superior fitment and better quality that come with a higher price tag to others. The bus has been prepared and repainted in stunning period correct colours Turkis Green / Pastelweiss.

This bus also boasts the iconic and highly sought after Dormobile side elevating roof designed by Martin Walter. No expense was spared throughout this restoration and the bus travelled all the way to Dormobile themselves for the full roof fitment to ensure that the quality of the fit was spot on.

Top of the range specification was installed including the new roof cap, canopy, glass, seals and even two fold out bunk beds for upstairs sleeping arrangements suitable for children or small adults. Naturally as expected the roof fitment is superb and looks like it has just rolled off the production line having not been used.

Mechanically the bus has been upgraded in virtually every department enhancing performance and safety more in line with modern roads. Enormous specification including Creative Engineering disc brakes at the front, Transporter Haus rear adjustable arms, 1641cc fully reconditioned engine, Full flow with remote oil filter and concept racing oil cooler with fan, Twin 34ict Carburettors, 123 ignition, Vintage Volkshaus style performance exhaust system, Air cooled electrical loom, modern fuse box, Independent Rear Suspension (IRS) gearbox and rear end.

The previous owner was very much obliged to build a bus suitable for this era whilst still being very careful to retain the classic and globally recognised exterior aesthetics and appearance, as after all that is what draws people to love these buses so much in the first instance.

Retaining the original 15’’ steel alloys with polished hub caps came as an essential style choice. The bus has also been upgraded with opening windows all round from Creative engineering including front and rear Safaris and 6x side opening pop outs, all in polished stainless. This alone is a considerable expense and high spec option.

The bus has been in our workshop and we have built and installed one of our bespoke interiors. Our interiors are built to a very high specification and each one individually designed and built utilising the highest quality components.  We felt as though the vehicle was owed this final piece of the puzzle so that its ready to go to the new owner(s) as the very first to enjoy its luxuries.

Interior spec comprises of:

Luxurious Amtico Flooring with premier chrome inlays offering a unique opulent show piece as soon as you enter the bus.
