1956 VW Double Door Panel Van For Sale

Up for sale is my 1956 Double Door Panel Van. VW Birth Certificate present.

I have thought long and hard about this but I have come to the decision to sell. I have had the bus for approx. 6 years and had the bus completely bare metal restored when first purchased. Just don't get the time to use it and its a real shame to be sat in my garage not being appreciated how it should.

The bus had everything sorted and I didn't cut corners on any of the restoration process.

I fitted a huge amount of new items including a load of NOS stuff that I sourced from all over the world to make sure the bus had all the correct items fitted.

Some of the items fitted are listed below: (Loads more items have been fitted but please ask for more details).

NOS Semaphores.
NOS Rear Brake Lights (I have modified these to fit a dual filament bulb for brake lights and turn signal lights).
NOS Reflectors.
NOS 3rd Brake Light.
Original Rossi Headlights (These are the original metal ones and not the cheap reproduction items).
Creative Engineering Safari Windows with Tinted Glass.
Slamwerks Front Beam
Original Radar Alloy Wheels (not reproduction and pretty rare I have been led to believe).
Full width Rusty Lee Rock and Roll Bed.
Creative Engineering Bulk head Seat.
I also fitted a JMR Built 2. 1 Turbo engine to the bus. (This will need a good tune up as has not really been run for a couple of years). Engine alone is worth well over 5k.

The whole bus interior has been completely upholstered. Completely like new. Cost over 2k.

Overall the bus is pretty much ready to go and would make a real show winner given a bit of a polish and tidy up. The bus has been kept in a garage all the time after restoration and will be an amazing bus to show off.

I'm sure the pictures will speak for themselves.

I spent loads of time and money on the bus and it probably owes me lots more than I am asking. Someone will get an amazing bus here and will be the talk of the shows.

Asking £34000 price drop and open to offers but please nothing stupid.

Would also be willing to consider Part Ex for a decent low mileage VW T5/ 6 DSG model.

Many thanks for looking.
