Prior to the Splitty having a full no experience spared nut and bolt restoration.
The bus spent its life in the dry climate of southern Thailand.
We shipped to the UK back in 2008 and due to The bus being in excellent driving and rust free condition It was the perfect candidate to build a show winning splitty.

The legendary Volkswagen interior specialist, Bernard Newbury’s services were employed for a full interior restoration on the bus, This Culmination has resulted in this bus being one of the finest examples in the UK.

Bernard fitted out the interior back to the way it was intended as a Kombi micro bus. The quality of the interior is exceptional, the headliner is perfect, the best that I have seen in a T2, the re-apolstered seats are immaculately done.
The door cards and side panels are in a traditional deluxe style, with chrome strips, also fully re-manufactured and finished To perfection. Even the traditional style carpets are original VW factory spec material and perfectly fitted.
