1960 VW LHD Splitscreen Campervan - RARE Danish Conversion (POBA) for sale

Current customer rating: current rating for this car(2.25) based on 414 votes
Our much loved 'LAS' is an honest and solid 1960 left hand drive barn door splitscreen campervan that has been part of our family since 2008.  
First registered in this country on 1st August 2003 having originally travelled (I believe) from Denmark to Sweden. across to Scotland. down to Berkshire. and finally arriving in Forest Row.  Sadly. nbsp;due to our growing family. /span> LAS is looking for a new home to continue her legacy.
LAS is a rare Danish POBA conversion who rose to stardom when featured in VW Camper: The Inside Story by David Eccles. Unfortunately I don't have a copy of the book but have been in touch with David Eccles since buying her and can confirm it is actually LAS photographed and featured.  
We have had to spend very little on her as each year she has sailed through MOTs. is tax exempt. and has been super reliable. We have however just fitted a new starter motor and handbrake cable. Along with her super cool registration plate (LAS438). nbsp;LAS has a fairly unique three tone colour scheme with a tomato red body. brown trim and nose. white roof.
Being 53 years old LAS is not in perfect condition and does have rust spots (surface corrosion around the roof rim. doors. and windows). a broken driver side wing mirror. seats that could do with re-covering. and other treatable bits and bobs to rejuvenate her - things we could have sorted prior to selling but wanted to show her as she is. and as honest as she is. without covering anything up.
MOT until 27th August 2013 
I know a very little about the vehicle history prior to us owning her but am aware of the petrol tank being replaced for a larger capacity tank in the seventies whilst in Scotland as well as being re-sprayed from her original two tone pistachio/white to the present colour scheme - which we love.  
If interested we have a full length roof rack that simply requires the wooden battens replacing and a perfectly matching orange retro awning - I can photograph and send.
Please contact me if you have any questions (07771 545455) but I do recommend visiting for a full viewing.
