1967 RHD (UK) Volkswagen Splitscreen Campervan For Sale

A very original unmodified camper that has been well looked after and retains a lot of originality and bags of character.
Delivered to Ramsgate on 11th May 1967 (birth certificate from VW to confirm this)
Devon ‘Spaceway’ Model (Walkthrough) (original brochure included)
Finished in Velvet Green over Pearl White.
MOT’d to November 2021 (last MOT had 0 advisories)

I purchased the camper from an elderly gentleman who lovingly owned it for around 20 years and carried out a lot of research on it (four files of paperwork to prove it!). When I bought the van it required a little recommissioning so I put it in the hands of a respected VW specialist to complete this. This work included; major service, uprated brakes (servo, master cylinder) upgraded fuel lines, new battery, exhaust.
Externally I had one side of the van repainted and have fully detailed it – the paintwork is now bright but there are signs of where is has been painted in the past. Underneath is solid with signs of past repairs as you would expect for a UK vehicle. (The O/ S/ R wheel arch does have a rust hole but this is not structural and has never bothered me.) Side step fitted for easier access. New front and rear number plates. New rear lights and reversing lights added.
Internally the interior remains original. When I first bought the van I stripped it out completely and fitted sound insulation along with new ply and flooring (from Madmatz). The door cards to the driver and passenger doors are new – provided by Bromsgrove Auto Trim and to match the rest as near as possible. The window frames to the drivers and passenger doors were also replaced. The rear pop out window frames have been replaced. Jail bar fitted to rear window. New rubbers to all doors. On the rear seat I have had fitted an isofix child seat bracket along with a lap belt. Orla Kiely curtains. The interior has also had a deep clean throughout but retains that old car smell! (table also included just not shown in the pics)
The worst bits of the interior are some of the cushion material is starting to wear through, the headlining has some minor staining around the drivers and passenger door areas and there is a small amount of rust around the n/ s front windscreen.
Mechanically the bus starts on the button, goes through the gears smoothly and the brakes are spot on.
Stacks of paperwork included including; research on previous owners, old MOT’s (from the late 80’s), original service card and instruction manual, servicing, confirmation the engine was replaced in April 1996 etc.
Please bear in mind the vehicle is over 50 years old so do not expect a pristine Van – it should be viewed in person so you are satisfied with what you are buying - any inspection is welcome. I am also happy to WhatsApp any photos.
In summary; an honest UK van that is ready to be enjoyed.
£35, 995 - OPEN TO SENSIBLE OFFERS ** Roof rack available by separate negotiation **
