The Appeal
Iconic. It's an overused word, but one that certainly applies to the original 'Split Screen' Volkswagen Type 2. This single, simple vehicle represents the freedom and counterculture of the 1960s.
Our 1965 example is beautiful to behold, a standout specimen among its peers, having undergone a comprehensive professional restoration in 2018 with full interior and exterior refurbishment.
Finished in an attractive Jaguar white over yellow colour scheme and featuring a custom oak interior, this Split Screen combines period charm with practical usability. With its documented history spanning more than 25 years and professional restoration work completed in 2018, this Type 2 offers the reassurance of a well-sorted classic with the visual appeal to match.
