Description
This is a stunning 1964 Volkswagen 21-Window Samba, fully restored and finished in Porsche Etna Blue.
Powered by a 2165cc high-performance engine with Porsche servo-assisted brakes, CSP rack & pinion steering, and a custom Walklett gearbox, this split-screen drives as good as it looks.
Highlights include:
• 2165cc engine with 44 IDF Webers, CB Street Eliminator heads, Porsche cooling
• Straight axle conversion with custom Walklett gearbox
• Servo-assisted Porsche brakes with remote booster
• CSP rack & pinion steering, narrowed beam, dropped spindles, Bilstein shocks
• Vintage Speed exhaust, LED rear lights, fully sound-deadened interior
• Polished pop-out windows all round, Creative Safaris front and rear, new headliner
• Camping interior with Devon-style bed and small cupboard
The van is turnkey and ready to drive anywhere.
It comfortably keeps up with motorway traffic and recently completed a round trip to Chimay for EBI, including hours of European traffic in ridiculously hot weather!
I purchased this Samba in 2022 for £55, 000 and have since invested well over £40, 000 to bring it to its current show-quality standard.
A rare opportunity to own an iconic split-screen that’s fully sorted and highly desirable.
