Description

Originally conceived as a practical commercial vehicle, the Volkswagen Type 2 went on to find its own niche as a campervan, even though Volkswagen’s Wolfsburg and Hanover factories never actually assembled them in ‘home-from-home’ campervan form enabling aftermarket companies to foresee and fulfil that potential.
It’s in campervan form the Type 2 cemented its reputation as carefree transport for the counterculture in the 1960s, especially in America, with the relatively compact camper from Europe capturing the imagination of the hippy movement in a way that home-grown alternatives simply didn't
The first generation of these versatile vehicles (T1) were produced with distinctive split screens (subsequently known as 'Splitties') from 1950 until 1967, and these have become the most sought-after models
The example presented here is a right-hand drive, UK-market 1967 Volkswagen Type 2 (T1), which has had c.£65,000 invested into it over four years (2016-20) with work carried out by VW specialists Southwest Splitz Ltd of Exeter, Devon; completed just before COVID, with minimal use since, this is a tasteful and extremely well-sorted camper
With our vendor now living/working overseas full-time, this immaculate 'Splitty' is ready for adventures with a new owner; with all the hard work done, this is a fantastic opportunity to acquire a fully restored camper at a fraction of what has been invested into it
