Believed to be one of the last 200 split-screen buses built at Wolfsburg, and that it may be the youngest surviving example. On arrival in the UK it was converted into a Torvette Camper by JP White of Sidmouth and retains the complete conversion including the Easicool fridge, gas hob, and Formica table. This particular Type 2 benefits from factory option M183, which is the very rare walk-through cab. It is also worthwhile noting that this is a "one-key" van with its original key.
Finished in Sea Blue over Pearl White (see below), the vehicle underwent a bare metal re-spray and refurbishment by Dave Catchpole and his team at West Coast VW (formerly VW Classics) in 2011 and has been owned by the current owner since. We are advised by the vendor that before the restoration the vehicle was very sound and required minimal bodywork repairs. We understand it benifits from having the roof replaced by the previous owner to accommodate a 'pop top'. There is a photographic record of these works available. All work is documented and there is a file of receipts totalling over £20,000.
The engine was rebuilt by Laurie Pettit of Berwickshire, the acknowledged expert in rebuilding VW power units. The reduction box bearings and gearbox seals have been renewed, though no work was needed on the gearbox, while the braking system was renewed and the steering overhauled. The Torvette interior was refurbished and refitted, retaining the original foam padding under new covers, while the trim panels were renewed (the original panels have been retained). The headlining was replaced and the electrics overhauled during the restoration, and a hobby battery installed.
We are advised by the vendor that this vehicle has been restored to factory specification with the exceptions of adding
Seeblau
over the original Pearlweise; fitting electronic points to the distributor; and fitting laminated glass to the front windows. The owner has covered approximately 13,000 miles in the vehicle since the refurbishment and believes it to be the one of the finest examples of the iconic Split-Screen camper available.
