Description
After a lot of demand and waiting we are finally able to offer an original UK Right Hand Drive Split Screen bus for sale. This is not an import from South Africa or Malaysia like most RHD busses you see on the market. This is a 100% Genuine Right Hand Drive bus built in Germany and supplied to the UK new in 1961. Both the original chassis and M code plate are still intact and on the bus confirming its identity and also we have a birth certificate from the Stuttgart VW museum in Germany proving the busses authenticity.
The bus was stripped back to bare metal and every rotten panel replaced before the bus was primed and painted in totally original colour scheme Mango Green / Seagull Grey. No stone was left unturned during this restoration and this can be seen by the quality of the finish. The paintwork is like silk all the way around and a joy to look at from every angle. Every single rubber seal replaced with new and the original steel wheels shot blasted and powder coated. New tyres and polished stainless hubcaps also fitted summer of last year.
Massive mechanical spec including 1600cc Reconditioned Twin Port Engine running on 34 Dellorto Carburettors, New Fuel Tank, IRS Gearbox, IRS (Independent Rear Suspension) Setup, Dropped front spindles and new suspension at front, VW Jim Servo (One of the best products on the market! The brakes are almost as good as a new car!), Brand new 12V wiring loom and 12V electrics throughout, Fuel gauge discreetly retrofitted for convenience (This bus being early would never have had a fuel gauge, Zero holes cut into dashboard at all so could be removed easily if preferred).
The interior currently has a hand crafted Devon replica featuring a curved cabinet and two opposite facing seats with bed cushions upholstered in vibrant contrasting red cloth. The Devon style interior is an original and very popular layout but please note that we build bespoke interiors ourselves especially for Split Screen busses so if you would prefer a different layout then all you have to do is ask and we would be happy to discuss different options. Please click on the ‘Browse VW Camper’ logo at the top of the page to view examples of our bespoke interior work.
New headlining professionally fitted included matching off white perforated vinyl trimmed down to the waistline, Full curtain set and door cards all round including replacement kick panels
Original style Blaupunkt Radio overhauled / modernised to include AM/FM tuner and IPod / IPhone connection via a cleverly mounted docking station discreetly inside the Ash Tray.
On average only 10% of all Split Screens were built in Right Hand Drive and the vast majority of them are no longer on the road simply because of the work it takes to get them to this standard. This is a very desirable bus that would make a great investment for years to come.
