RARE 1956 right hand drive 23 window samba in very original condition. Not a show van. It was the family van and took us to the south of France, Brittany, Devon, Dorset, Isle of Wight festival many times. It was my regular daily van for 8 years but the last 2 had hardly been used due to family circumstances. Been garaged throughout my ownership of 10 years. Very clean rust free underneath.
Had the electrics redone, suspension and brakes improved, 1600 cc engine with single carb. Mohair retractable roof replaced. Roof and front stripped to bare metal and repainted. Replica fuch alloys. Roof racks included with boxes of spare parts and steering column. Original wheels available. Stainless safari windows at front with original available. Original windows on van sides with stainless replacements never fitted. It was used to advertise my artwork so the sides are covered with a vinyl poster.
Originally a German van exported to Indonesia then imported to the uk a few years before I bought it. V5 VW microbus 1956.
Needs side panels stripping to bare metal and repainting, headlining and upholstery renewing to bring up to show standard. A nice van. Vincent the magic bus. Would consider a swap for a good quality modern 4 berth motorhome with cash adjustment if motorhome is more expensive.
