The Background
The VW Split Screen Microbus is a piece of automotive design that will live on forever, anything that came out of the VW plant back in the early 50’s is now an iconic. Even someone who does not like cars that much will still be able to point out a split screen and smile with thanks to its classic lines.
Without this Type 2 platform we may never of had the pleasure of the Camper Van. This Split Screen however is in the micro bus configuration with enough space for 9 passengers and enough luggage space to back this up.
The History
This VW split screen has been shipped over from Brazil where it has gone through a lengthy restoration period looking at the interior, running gear and the exterior.
It’s with thanks to this painstaking process that we are now presented with a bus that looks just as good if not better than it did when it rolled off the production line all of those years ago.
The Paperwork
There is some paperwork that comes with this car to detail some works that have been done to achieve this look, but on the day of the photoshoot it was not present.
The Interior
The interior has had some time spent on it like the rest of the bus. The seats have been privy to some new upholstery in a lovely two-tone pattern with the cream inserts being a similar colour to that of the exterior the seats are just as comfortable as you’d imagine from a bench seat and there is more than enough leg room due to the length of the vehicle.
Up front in the cab all of the knobs, dials and steering wheel are also finished in that lovely cream colour too and all look stunning.
The Exterior
The exterior of this bus is in amazing condition, although this has come across the ocean in a container you wouldn’t be able to tell, everything on the outside of the bus is like new.
The bright work is just that, bright, and there is a lot of chrome on show, the massive VW logo on the front is displayed proudly for all to see and all of the little chrome accents throughout the exterior really add to the charm of this little bus.
One of the standout features on the exterior is the split wooden roof racks that sit neatly on the roof, attached to the rear section of the rack is a ladder and any car with a ladder on it is instantly cool.
The wheels and tires are also in great condition too, they really help to seal the whole retro vibe that this bus gives off.
The Mechanics
Like any Type two bus this is fitted with the famous air-cooled VW H4 engine which is just such a beautiful piece of engineering.
This one runs great having just been through a rebuild over in Brazil and this rebuild is why the odometer now only reads 47km everything has been looked over through the re-build process and now because of this the mechanical parts are in great condition.
The Appeal
This Bus speaks for itself. If you want a well put together and recently restored VW Type 2 bus, then look no further. This has to be one of the best examples on the market today with all the little bits that have been done throughout the restoration period you can imagine that this is a great example of an iconic vehicle.
The next owner of this bus will have the opportunity to tour the world in comfort and style. With it being a Split-Screen people will always treasure them and this should unlock a new touring lifestyle with the chance to join in with many VW specific shows across the globe.

About Max Bids
The max bid process allows you to bid without any hassle.
Enter your maximum bid and we will then bid on your behalf to ensure you're the highest bidder - just enough to keep you in the lead and only up until your maximum.
Anti-sniping
Car & Classic prevent auction snipers from bidding in the last seconds to win an auction.
Auctions are extended by 3 minutes if anyone bids within the last 2 minutes to allow other bidders to react and counter-bid.
Auto-bidding increments
- If your maximum bid is equal to or below the reserve price, your maximum bid will be applied in full if you are the highest bidder.
- If you are the highest bidder and place a maximum bid above the reserve, we will automatically put in the reserve as your first bid.
-
- Once the reserve has been met, Car & Classic will make sure you are the highest bidder using only the bidding increments stated below.
- We will keep you in the lead up until your maximum bid OR the increment closest to your maximum bid, providing your maximum bid is enough to cover the increment value.
| Bid Amount | Increment |
|---|---|
| £0 to £9,999 | £100.00 |
| £10,000 to £49,999 | £250.00 |
| £50,000 to £99,999 | £500.00 |
| £100,000 + | £1,000.00 |
Automatically outbid immediately
When you place a max bid and are outbid immediately that means that another bidder has placed a max bid limit which is higher than yours.
You can bid again and we will use our automatic bid system to try and get you as the highest bidder.
Matching max bids
When there are two max bids of the same value, the one placed first remains the lead bidder.
Pre-authorisation
We may hold a pre-authorisation charge on your card until the end of the auction when the hold will be cancelled. If you win, we'll take a security deposit which counts towards the payment for the vehicle and isn't any extra cost to you.
What are pre-bids?
A pre-bid means you're able to place a bid before the official start of the auction.
You will be notified whether or not you are the highest bidder when the auction starts.
Problem with your bid
Bids are contractually binding. To help protect you, we have some rules in place if we think it's been mistyped. Please check and amend what you have entered.
