For Sale ‘65 13-Window LHD Split-Screen Camper-
Presenting a beautifully restored 1965 13-window Split-Screen camper in Cumulus White and Sea Blue.
This van is a true classic, with its eye-catching US-spec painted bumpers and complete deluxe trim. Restored and had the outside painted six years ago, it’s been garage-kept and only driven in the summer, maintaining its pristine condition and still in lovely condition. As an aged restoration, there is the odd blemish, which of course we can offer full walkaround in-depth videos.
Equipped with brand-new chrome Safari windows and freshly painted pop-out windows, both from Creative Engineering, along with a new chrome Volkswagen front badge. The van also features a T2D 4. 5” narrowed front beam, Bilstein shocks, adjustable spring plates, and Porsche 944 disc brakes on all four wheels for optimal handling. Rolling on polished, original 1970s Porsche Fuchs alloys with imported three-prong center caps, it combines style with substance.
Inside, you’ll find a full-length VanWurks interior with a 3/ 4-width rock and roll bed, cream vinyl upholstery, and matching cream leather front seats with new frames and springs from Matt Smith in Cornwall. Also included is a CRX50 compressor fridge, never used, as well as a Sargent EC164 power unit for 12V/ 240V electrics powered by a 100Ah leisure battery and Victron MPPT solar charger, ideal for off-grid adventures. Full carpets, vinyl flooring, curtains, and matching cushions complete the cozy and functional interior.
Outfitted with top-tier audio, including Hertz component speakers, an amp, and a retro DAB classic car stereo, over £1, 000 has been invested to ensure great sound on the go. The speedometer has been professionally rebuilt and recalibrated for the low-profile tires by Thorsten in Germany, adding a touch of modern convenience.
In the engine bay, a custom-built 2110cc engine imported from Southern California provides excellent torque, paired with a SCAT C35 cam for a smooth, robust drive. With a Vintage Speed exhaust and J tubes, this van has a dynamic sound and performance profile, and it’s also equipped with an external oil cooler and filter system for enhanced durability on longer drives.
With tens of thousands invested over 17 years by its careful owner, this van offers everything you could want in a classic Split-Screen camper, yours to cherish for £42, 500.
We’re located in North Devon, close to the beautiful beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde, and Saunton, making it the perfect weekend destination to come and see this classic in person. Delivery can be arranged nationally and internationally- Thankyou for reading.
