The Appeal
The Volkswagen Type 2 Splitscreen is an iconic symbol of 1960s counterculture and practical utility alike. It came in all manner of shapes and sizes - panel vans, camper vans, and this unusual single-cab pickup, which is particularly sought after for its relative rarity.
This 1963 example has undergone a comprehensive custom build that combines period charm with significant mechanical upgrades. Imported from Texas and fully UK registered since 2016, this Splitscreen has undergone a thorough restoration with numerous bespoke modifications that enhance both its appearance and performance.
The vehicle features an array of mechanical upgrades including a rebuilt 1809cc stroker engine, twin Dellorto carburettors, and a freeway flyer gearbox. With only approximately 3,000 miles covered since its restoration, this is an unusual, striking rat-rod style pickup that's ready and waiting to turn heads on the open road.
