This truly is aomething special: a two owner from new. genuine unrestored and beautiful example of the iconic VW 21 window splitscreen bus. It has perfect patina and is ready to go.

21 Window Samba Type 2 Microbus Deluxe 1967. 2 owners from new!

Meet ABB71E. an absolutely lovely example of a genuine low mileage. two owner from new. un-restored 1967 VW Type 2 21 Window Microbus Deluxe (the registration number will stay with the bus. but we are not aware if it is transferable or not. Interested parties will need to check with the DVLA themselves).

ABB71E is one of two identical 21 window deluxe vehicles bought brand new in the USA by a couple of sisters way back in May 1967. Sadly. the other bus was written off many years ago. therefore this one was particularly cherished by its two lady owners. Eventually they became too old to drive it and after ‘mothballing' if for a few years. they reluctantly offered it for sale. It was then bought by its only other lifetime owner. a lucky fella in the UK who imported it himself about 10 years ago. Prior to shipping. it was painstakingly packaged and completely ‘bubble wrapped' before it was delivered into the UK. May I repeat. this bus has had one USA owner. and one UK owner. That is two owners in total in it's almost 50 year lifetime!

The provenance of this bus is unquestionable. The original dealer service book which even has the little plastic card with the chassis number and supplying dealer info etc. is there. Also. there are all of the annual USA registration documents which have the mileage on year by year. so you tell that all is genuine. The original handbook is there too. duly soaked in oil so it is a bit sticky!

This bus has a total mileage of 72. 54 and it has averaged well under 1000 miles per year since coming over to the UK.

Features:
• 1600 singe port engine
• Original Samba Deluxe sliding sunroof
• All standard Samba Deluxe features
• Mileage 72. 54. genuine with all documentation to prove
• Three rows of seats - totally original and correct deluxe interior
• Will be sold with full UK mot

Various expensive modifications and updates were undertaken on it's entry to the UK to ensure that this bus could compete with even the best of today's modern traffic. As a result. it easily cruises at 70mph and it capable of much. much more. The engine is a sweet as a nut and accelerates to way over the speed limit with ease.

Well over £5k was spent on the following:
• Creative Engineering IRS suspension
• Creative Engineering Weedeater front beam
• Creative Engineering steering rack kit
• Creative Engineering ‘matched load' shockers
• Super Beetle hi ratio gearbox
• Tow bar and electrics

This bus has beautiful patina. it is not an over restored or ‘welded to death' bus. It is not known if the paint is all original. but the condition of the bus and the history suggests it could be. However. it may have had remedial paintwork in places. but only to freshen it up. It could be improved or left and enjoyed ‘as is'. that's the choice for the new owner. The body and underside are all original and this all adds to the stunning overall patina of this brilliant piece of classic VW machinery.
