Known officially as the Volkswagen Type 2 and. depending on body
type. either as a Transporter. Kombi or Microbus. this VW was also
known informally as the Bus in the US and Camper in the UK.
Introduced in 1950 as Volkswagen's second car model. it was derived
from their first. the Beetle. that was designated the Type
1.

Built in 1966 and registered in 1967. this lefthand drive Type 2
camper was subject to an extensive restoration approximately five
years ago by one of the UK's leading specialists. Wide5. Works
included replacement cargo floor. jacking points. dog legs. top
hats. long side panel. bottom seven inch nose with inner and outer
skins. front arches and inner and outer cargo door sills. A new
1600cc Mexican import engine was also fitted giving this VW the
power to keep up with modern traffic conditions. To finish. the
interior was custom made by another well known Volkswagen interior
specialist. Bromsgrove Auto Trim.

The restoration was commissioned by the drinks company. New
Nordik. who used this Split Screen camper as a promotional vehicle
for touring around the UK. It is reported that in excess of £30. 00
was spent on the restoration with a further £5. 00. in more recent
times. on the interior trim. To enhance its usability. the camper
has been stone chipped and waxed on the underside.

Presented with a striking red and white colour scheme and an
interior to match. this split screen Volkswagen camper represents
an excellent example of the marque and indeed was featured in a
five page spread in VW magazine. a copy of which accompanies the
sale. With the benefit of being ready to drive away
immediately. this stunning Camper is sure to attract many admiring
glances on the festival circuit this summer.
