VW Karmann Safari – 1 of 500 made – Very unique original condition with manual, brochures, and pictures among other rare collectibles related to the camper.
Incredibly original and rare Karmann Safari, registered in Switzerland, comes along with a period-correct Karmann trailer, made with a license from J. Peitz Jun in Germany.

The internal and external conditions of the shown car remain mostly original which is a very rare condition and to any true VW collector, this is a masterpiece given the small production number not to mention the complexity to register such types of vehicles never homologated in Europe before. The number of similar Safaris in Europe is expected to be less than five while everything indicates this is the only on in Switzerland to this date.

History: Karmann AG, in Osnabrück, Germany, started producing their first motorhomes in the 1970s with the Karmann Mobil on the VW Kombi T2 platform that later evolved into the T3 platform with the Gypsys and Cheetahs.
Before that, in 1962, Brazil became the only country outside Germany to produce the famous Karmann-Ghia car with the VW base given the good relationship between the then VW President Friedrich Schultz-Wenk and Karmann’s Wilhelm Karmann Junior.
In the 1970s they produced the first Karmann Touring, based on the European Karmann Mobil, and two years after the launch, the Karmann Safari as the one presented. They were produced always as a T2 base until the mid-90s, finishing the production around 1995 with only 500 units between both Touring and Safari produced.
