AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
GENERAL:
Wow what a beauty is this fantastic Volkswagen T1 Samba bus from 1973. Equipped with a completely new luxury camper interior. Rare color scheme, samba with 23 windows, pop-out windows and a sunroof.
BODYWORK:
This original VW T1 comes from Brazil and was converted there a few years ago from a standard van into a beautiful camper with a luxurious new interior. It is not an original Samba but a beautiful replica with all the details, such as the 23 windows, sunroof and safari pop-out windows at the front. The two-tone combination "orange-red with black roof" looks very splendid and refers to the old Volkswagen T1 vans from the 1950s.
TECHNICAL:
This T1 has the well-known air-cooled 1500 cc engine with 4 cylinders. The engine has been removed, inspected, and painted in color. The engine runs smoothly and the transmission shifts as it should.
INTERIOR:
Inside is a luxurious new camper interior installed. Everything you could wish for a ride in a T1 van, and even a night to sleep in it, is present. A new refrigerator, fold-out table, dining table in the bus itself, clever storage compartments under the benches and of course the seats. Using the well-known "rock 'n roll" system the backrest can be laid flat, creating a bed. The seats and benches are black upholstered and match the van. The door panels and even new curtains are created in the complementary style. Even the wheels are color-matched with white-walls, of course with the chrome hubcaps.
The list is certainly not exhaustive, but in recent years the following work has been carried out:
* new camper interior
* floor painted in black coating
* bumpers painted in black gloss with red details
* new seats and seatbelts installed, both driver, passenger and bench
* bodywork repainted in black with orange-red color
* double chrome with wood imperial and side step installed
* curtains black with red details installed
* white walls with chrome hubcaps
* matching black mirrors installed
* new chrome VW logo at the front
* new black refrigerator installed
* new black steering wheel installed
* engine removed and painted
DOCUMENTS:
This van was imported from Brazil and still has Brazilian license plates. All import duties have been paid and the customs documents are of course provided. The van is sold "as is".
OTHER:
This is a Brazilian restoration from a few years ago; the ample amount of photos provides a good impression of its condition. Before the van is "road ready" there will be a few adjustments to meet all European requirements. We therefore advise budgeting 10% additional costs (guidance) for example checking brakes and bearings, electrical work, fitting European headlights, etc. This is a private sale, so no warranty applies. The van must be collected within 14 days after the auction."
