FOR SALE: Volkswagen Type 2 Microbus T1 Camper (1966)

FOR SALE: A desirable split-screen Microbus. with Safari windows and twin cargo doors.

EQUIPMENT
Split windscreen with Safari windows. Twin cargo doors. Sliding windows. Oil temperature and pressure gauges. Rev counter. Interior lighting. Alpine cassette player with CD changer. Infinity speaker system with amplifier. Spare wheel.

EXTERIOR
The solid blue and white paintwork presents well under our studio lighting and is an excellent colour combination that retains a truly vintage aesthetic. Fully restored several years ago the overall condition of the VW is great. having remained tucked away inside over recent years. As a result. the bodywork is in excellent order aside from a few minor stone chips to the front end. All the panels are arrow straight and free from any unsightly dings or ripples as normally found on such vehicles.

On close inspection the majority of rubbers and seals look fresh. with the chrome brightwork also in fine shape. All glass and lenses around the car are free from any cracks. and the bumpers remain entirely scuff-free. What's more. the Bus is perfectly solid underneath having benefitted from several replacement panels early on in its restoration.

INTERIOR
Unsurprisingly the interior of the Camper presents remarkably well. and along with several original features there are one or two tasteful upgrades also. The addition of new oil gauges and a rev counter is immediately obvious. but more discreet is the addition of a full sound system. neatly hidden away in a period trunk behind the rear bench seat.

The front and rear seats present beautifully and appear as new. The door cards and internal trim are also in very good order. What's more. the painted dash is pristine and the headlining is also factory-fresh. having been professionally installed during the renovation. On closer inspection you'll notice that the front foot well benefits from a fitted rubber mat.

ENGINE & TRANSMISSION
During the VW's restoration the engine was upgraded to a 1776cc unit featuring twin carburetors which. along with a couple of other necessary upgrades. make for a much more pleasurable drive. The bore and stroke of this engine is the perfect combination of performance. reliability and drivability. It provides excellent low-end torque and performance throughout the entire rev range and is designed for years of trouble free service.

Much like the rest of the vehicle. the engine bay itself is very clean and tidy. with all components appearing in very fine fettle indeed.

WHEELS. TYRES & BRAKES
The wheels on the VW are correctly colour-matched to the top half of the vehicle in white. The 15" steel wheels present really nicely having also been powder coated. and the chrome hubcaps are brand new.

The wheels are shod in a matching set of Michelin XZX tyres. each with ample tread remaining. The Camper has also been fitted with disc brakes. helping to bring the car to a halt more quickly.

HISTORY FILE
This Microbus was first registered in 1966 and was fully restored in the late 1990s. It has remained in dry storage over recent years and has covered a mere 2. 00 miles since 2008. and it shows.

Present in the history file is an original Instruction Manual from August 1966. as well as numerous MOT certificates dating back to 1999 following the restoration. The documentation is complete with a stack of paperwork and invoices from over the years. detailing works carried out and parts that have been fitted.
