A desirable original RHD, British-market Type 2

Benefiting from a substantial restoration
Offered for sale with a substantial history file and current Swansea V5C
Visiting Wolfsburg in 1946 to explore the possibility of becoming Volkswagen’s first international concessionaire, Dutch businessman Ben Pon was intrigued by a pared back, Type 1-derived parts-mover ‘plattewagen’ which he saw traversing the factory. Positing that the improvised hack could form the basis of another model line, Pon doodled a van with the driver and engine positioned above the front and rear axles respectively on April 23rd 1947. Although his concept struck a chord with VW’s management, demand for the Type 1 (Beetle) was such that productionising the Type 2 (Bus) was not a priority. A prototype was eventually built and its successors refined via the wind tunnel at the Technical University of Braunschweig with the result that their drag coefficients tumbled from 0. 75 to 0. 44 (the Beetle / Type 1 was 0. 48 by comparison). Greenlit on May 19th 1949, the very first Type 2 rolled off the production line just under six months later. The initial Kombi and Commercial variants were subsequently joined by Microbus, Pick-Up and Ambulance derivatives. Nicknamed the ‘Split Screen’ or ‘Splittie’ on account of its distinctive, two-part, V-windscreen, the first iteration of the T1 lasted until 1967 in Germany.
This particularly appealing example is a desirable original right-hand drive, British-market Type 2, finished in a fetching combination of white over sky blue with a complementary matching leather interior. Benefiting from a substantial restoration, it presents particularly well and is reported to run and drive without issue. Offered for sale with a history file and current Swansea V5C, this charming Type 2 would make an excellent addition to any Volkswagen collection or an enjoyable and characterful classic for shows, events and leisure use.
