Description
For Sale '65 LHD 11 Window Splitscreen Camper-
Another spectacular bus in all departments. This is a genuine German-built bus complete with its original factory VIN plate and M Code plate still present. Confirming original factory spec options and export location from new to Charleston, South Carolina.
The bus has subsequently spent a lot of its early years in the dry state of California, which is indicative by the quality of the metalwork. Which is some of the best we have seen. This is a true testament to why dry-state imports are highly desirable for the UK market.
The underside of this bus is in superb order throughout. It has been carefully and lightly protected in rust treatment to ensure that the bus retains many more years of service with only the need for routine maintenance.
Since being imported to the UK, the bus has been stripped and fully repainted in year correct and desirable VW colours: Titian Red / Beige Grey. The bus shows all of the hallmark signs of a quality job, including the stripping and painting of the engine bay, shuts, dashboard etc.
Throughout the restoration. The machine polished to a very pleasant finish throughout.
The reconditioned 1500cc engine is very well paired with a straight axle gearbox and adjustable spring plates allowing this bus to cruise at higher speeds comfortably.
Flipped spindles and beam adjusters on the front make for the popular slightly lowered stance. Which contributes greatly towards this buses awesome appearance and wow factor throughout.
The bus has had some serious money spent on it including many expensive exterior components including brand new 15’’ chrome Radar Wheels, new polished stainless deluxe trim with matching titian red insert, polished chrome front badge, new Creative Engineering 3 bow polished stainless roof rack, front Safari Windows and many other items.
Brand new headliner trimmed professionally down to the waistline in grey West of England style fabric, which compliments the exterior colours very well indeed. This brings us now to the main interior of the bus, which was custom-built to the owner's spec. Starting with a Rusty Lees full-width rock n roll seat which has a lovely shaped oak facia panel. This obviously folds out into a very generous sized double bed. Opposite this seat is a twin-seater, which collectively face each other to create a dinette with a removable table. Next is the cupboard housing the fridge freezer, together with the twin gas hob, which is uniquely positioned, to enable you to cook "Alfresco"! The US diner-style interior is epitomised by the gorgeous red and off-white pleated vinyl upholstery, which carries through from the seats to the door cards and side panels.
This great little Splitty is available for just £35, 000.
We're based close to some of the best beaches in the country, so why not pop down for a couple of days to check this bus out?
