Beautiful Volkswagen T1 Samba in a unique colour combination. Completely rebuilt.

The basis is the well-known 1968 Volkswagen T1 bus, converted to a samba bus with the familiar roof windows and sunroof. This original VW T1 from Brazil has been fully restored in Brazil. It is not an original Samba but a beautiful replica.

The bus has been completely newly painted in the magical 'black & white' colour combination with a beautiful red trim. Much attention has been paid to details, such as a matching dashboard and rims with red interior and chrome trim. The chassis, axles and doors have also been painted in identical colours.

This T1 has the well-known air-cooled 1500-cc engine with 4 cylinders. The engine runs well, the transmission shifts fine.

The interior has been fully reupholstered: new curtains, headlining, side panels, new seats, sun visors, and of course, the sliding (folding) roof that can be opened. The chairs are truly beautifully upholstered in combination white faux leather with black trim. The front windows are the well-known pop open Samba windows, in other words, they can be folded open. Even the pop out side windows (known from the Samba model) have been installed. A new, original chrome-plated Volkswagen logo at the front and original VW hubcaps with chrome trim make this T1 van a real head-turner.

This van was imported from Brazil and still has a Brazilian registration. All import duties have been paid and naturally, the customs documents and registration papers are included. We would like to point out that this T1 was restored in Brazil: such a restoration is of less quality than a European restoration. Usually, I recommend taking into account 10% additional costs (estimate) for final modifications, admission inspections, etc.

The van was built in 1968: this is interesting as vans from 1970 onwards are subject to stricter requirements. Take advantage of it!

The van is located in Delden, the Netherlands, you are welcome to come and view it in advance. The van needs to be picked up within 14 days after the auction is closed. I am happy to help you arrange transport, indicative prices for Europe are displayed at the auction. The van is sold 'as is, where is'. This is a private sale, warranty does not apply.
