NO EXPENSE SPARED ON THIS RESTRORATION BOTH INSIDE AND OUT!! QUALITY, QUALITY, QUALITY. 1963 VW Splitscreen camper. Kombi T1 Type 1 Right Hand Drive with a full and meticulous restoration carried out slowly and carefully over a number of years by professionals in their fields. The quality of the exterior and interior restoration of this van is second to none, and includes handmade cabinets as well as handmade cows hide leather seats and door cards throughout.The Interior CabinetsHandmade and installed by a sought-after cabinet maker. Each cabinet is made from American walnut with a lighter border in Maple, and then lacquered 7 times. They were also made ensuring the weight was light enough not to affect the ride of the van. The removable table also came from the trunk of the walnut tree so the grain of the wood is tighter and darker giving an extra special feel. The cabinets include an installed butler sink, fridge, cubby hole with lid, and large pull-out drawer under tehe bench for a cooker. The headlining is also made from thin laquered wood which has been curved to fit the contours of the roof.The parquet floor in the rear is made of individual tiles formed to make the pattern.The speakers are under the rear seat with a bluetooth retro style radio. The 12v spot lighting has been fitted by a professional auto electrician on 2 switches (front and rear) there is also underlighting on the base of the rock and roll bed. There are also USB charging sockets in the rear of the camper for phone charging. There is a leisure battery to power additional electrical items including the lighting and the fridge. Handmade cows leather seatsBeautiful quality with that soft to touch leather feel and smell, simply amazing. Handmade with real stitching by a highly experienced specialist auto trimmer using 9 hides of Italian cow's leather throughout including the cushioned door cards which have invisible fixings.Restoration and ExteriorCarefully restored over time, at the start of the restoration, the van was brought back to bare metal shell including removal of all doors, glass and engine, to be treated with acid. The van was then meticulously put back together with new parts where necessary, professionally painted and agonised over with a huge amount of attention to detail!!The roof was been replaced with an SO42 conversion (bought in America) to allow better ventilation and ability to stand up inside. With such large panels on a camper, particular care and attention was given to ensure they are as straight as possible before painting. The fully chromed engine is a 1641cc twin carb which allows it to retain its original VW feel and sound but gives it more power over the original factory fitted engine.It has had a suspension conversion to allow it to ride lower for stability. Other features include:Delux Clock and Delux trimDouble roof racksPorsche style alloys in chrome silverRetro radio playerPop out safari windows on the frontPop out side windowsNew canvas for the pop-up roof and new claspsNew rubbersNew steering wheel to match interiorNew fuel tank and senderI have owned this camper for 12 years and theres lots of other things ive replaced too along the way.
