Description
For sale: '66 LHD 13-Window Volkswagen Split Screen Campervan
‘A well-restored Sea Blue and White example with extensive history’
Finished in classic Sea Blue and White, this 1966 LHD Split Screen Microbus is a stylish and well-sorted example that has benefitted from extensive investment and care over the years.
Imported from Duluth, Minnesota in 2008, the bus has been steadily improved, with documented expenditure totalling just shy of £16, 000 since 2010. In 2012 the 1600cc engine (63107 miles unverified) was professionally reconditioned, and in 2019 the whole vehicle was resprayed, leaving it sharp and smart with excellent presentation. A detailed file of receipts supports the restoration and ongoing work.
Inside, the camper has been fully reupholstered throughout in smart blue and white material to complement the exterior colours. It is fitted with a full-width rock’n’roll bed, rear speakers, and a Retro Sounds stereo. For camping, it also includes a sink and double gas hob – blending original charm with practical touches.
Valued at £41, 400 in 2020 by an independent assessor for Insurance purposes, this Split Screen Microbus remains a highly desirable and usable example of Volkswagen’s most iconic model, with strong provenance and tasteful upgrades.
On the market for £27, 000
