AI-assisted summary

Description from the seller

GENERAL

For sale is an extraordinarily authentic Volkswagen T1 Camper from 1964. The historic motorhome with a historic registration (H-Kennzeichen) has been in the same ownership since 2009 and was comprehensively restored from 2009 to 2011 with the highest standards of reliability and originality. Since completing the work, the bulli has been driven exclusively as a passion project and leisure vehicle in good summer weather and has always been kept dry and protected in a garage. This honest enthusiast vehicle is now being handed over to good hands.

BODYWORK & PAINT

The body was professionally restored as part of the elaborate renovation. The work performed includes extensive welding, renewal of the sills, and careful restoration of the floor and wheel housing areas. For permanent protection, an cavity protection and a new underbody coating were applied. The vehicle presents itself in a premium two-tone green and white paint finish. All door and window seals have been renewed. A timeless roof rack with noble wooden strips and shiny chrome hubcaps complete the classic appearance of the T1 perfectly.

TECHNICAL DATA

A particular highlight of this classic is the original factory-installed Volkswagen boxer engine with a displacement of 1,484 cm³. The air-cooled engine produces 44 hp and drives the rear wheels via a lightly shiftable 4-speed manual transmission. The vehicle was first registered on December 9, 1964. It is approved for a total of 7 seats. The engine, braking system, and suspension are in excellent, regularly maintained condition.

INTERIOR

The interior has been completely redesigned and impresses with a tasteful, individual motorhome conversion that reflects the charming character of the era. The seats have been reupholstered and equipped with custom-made lounge cushions, creating a comfortable seating and lying area. High-quality wooden storage furniture and well-kept interior coverings contribute to a homely atmosphere. For the right musical accompaniment on the road, there is the original, fully functional Blaupunkt radio in the dashboard.

DOCUMENTS

The history and excellent condition of the camper are transparently documented. There is a current DEKRA classic car appraisal confirming professional bodywork, high-quality paint, well-kept interior, and flawless starting and driving behavior. The extensive work of the two-year renovation is supported by numerous invoices. Although the invoice for the professional engine overhaul over the years has been lost, the rest of the documentation will be handed over to the new owner without gaps.

PICK-UP

The ready-to-drive motorhome is at its current location and ready for handover to the new owner. Handover takes place in person after successful purchase. All documents, keys, and the extensive invoice folders of the restoration will be handed over with the vehicle at collection. To ensure a smooth transfer, it is advisable to discuss the details in advance.

FURTHER INFORMATION

The factory-original engine starts absolutely reliably, runs very quietly, and convinces with a smooth running behavior on the road. Since the vehicle has been used privately for over 15 years with great care, never in winter or in bad weather, and consistently maintained, it constitutes a rare and transparent collector's item. A viewing is possible and expressly welcome by prior arrangement on dry weather so you can see this extraordinary condition for yourself."}
