Seller's comments about 1965' Volkswagen Type 2

We love an early Split Screen bus and are proud to offer this delightful example for sale. Being a 1962 model, this is considered an early bus, which means that it has many desirable features that are sought after amongst collectors and enthusiasts. These include the iconic small rear window and tailgate, small round rear light units, flat wheel arches, ice pick cab door handles and the original full width front bench seat which is very often shamefully replaced for later style seating.This bus has been the subject of an enormous restoration and has covered little mileage since completion having been kept garaged throughout the interim time. Restoration involved stripping the bus right back and replacing any required panels using brand new components with no expense spared. The bus was then carefully primed and painted in stunning light pastel blue / cream and polished to a lovely finish. Mechanically, the bus had its old wiring removed and a brand new 12V wiring loom and fuse box installed. Electrical components have also been upgraded wherever necessary. The mechanical system has been overhauled and the gearbox replaced with IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) to allow for superior ride quality and a higher top end speed in 4th gear. Fully reconditioned 1600 Twin Port engine which starts on the turn of a key and runs effortlessly with all new ancillaries. The bus is also running on a set of rare and original 15’’ steel wheels with brand new polished stainless hubcaps.Bespoke interior for featuring the following:• Cabinet designed to cover the full width of the bulkhead with an extended section at the far end in order to house all required appliances. Lightwood veneered finish with Pastel blue laminate top to match the exterior of the bus and complete with retro Devon edging trim and black insert. • Matching blue laminate fold up sections on both ends of cabinet for additional work top space. Very neat and stylish indeed.• Vinyl Tile flooring in Wedgewood Blue & Ice secured with adhesive to 9mm hard ply under flooring. • Matching overhead locker unit for additional lightweight storage. • Custom blue laminate table shaped to look like a VW Split Screen. Complete with chrome pedestal and leg for easy attachment / detachment when required. Custom brackets on bed skirting board to house table leg.• Full width custom Rock n’ Roll Bed. 3-Person Rear Seat that folds down to make a very large and comfortable double bed. • Bed cushion set upholstered in wonderful and comfortable dark grey fabric.• Waeco 12V / 240V Fridge• Leisure Battery neatly in engine bay on opposite side to main battery clamped down securely. • Split Charge Relay Kit (So both batteries charge up on their own whilst travelling)• SMEV double gas burner unit• SMEV large sink unit • Propex Heating System. This is a gas internal heating system that alone can cost over £1, 000 to supply and install. • Plenty of cupboard and storage space• Camping Gas bottle located underneath bed frame in custom container • 240V Mains Hookup System with 13A socket and consumer unit. Even though no longer required by law, the bus will come with an MOT certificate to offer complete peace of mind. Road tax fee exempt and cheap to ensure. Delivery anywhere can be arranged.
