The first generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 was available as a van for work or as a people carrier. It had the distinctive 2 front windscreens and the V shape on the front panel. Around the world it became affectionately known as the Bus, Barndoor, Kombi, Bullie, Microbus, Splitscreen, or Splitty, Samba, 21 Window and 23 Window, to name just a few of its nicknames. Initially built until 1956 at Wolfsburg; from1956, it was built at the completely new Transporter factory in Hanover. Sharing many components with the VW Beetle, the first Transporters were powered by a 25Hp 1100cc Volkswagen air-cooled engine mounted in the rear.
This LHD drive three door Splitty has undergone a comprehensive Ratty look customisation, including a full paint job. Our vendor bought it in 2013 and have upgraded the engine to 1641cc with twin Webbers, it has the ever popular Safari front windows, lowered and narrowed front beam, Creative Engineering steering conversation, and front disc brakes to name a few.
Driven to shows and work for many years other projects have now taken over and the pick up is not being used much. In 2006 the MOT mileage was 16,643 miles, in 2015 it was 21,427 miles, it was driven some 50 miles to the saleroom.
