The VW Camper has always conjured up images of freedom and adventure, any image of the great outdoors wouldn't be complete without a 'Westy' or 'Splitty' in the picture. The Californian West Coast has moved the vision to iconic status as generations have 'lived the dream' with endless summers of beaches and surfing. . . . peace and love for the less inclined.

This fully restored 1966 (1967 model year) Panel Van has enjoyed a huge amount of investment to produce one of nicest vehicles of its type in the country. Invoices totalling over £45,000 detail the works undertaken, supported by a comprehensive photo album documenting the restoration. 

A Texan import from 2014, the body was stripped to a bare shell and rebuilt with new panels as required, with all work being carried out by specialist Dan Munday’s BusStop. Mechanical works include a new 1500cc engine and 4-speed manual gearbox from The Engine Shop, a stainless steel exhaust system from Cool Air Volkswagen Specialists, plus a number of items from Custom & Commercial, such as a fuel tank, church key style engine lid, steering wheel, front and rear bumpers, electrical items, seals, suspension items and an underfloor belly kit.

The new interior by Vehicle Re-trim Services was completed to a high standard, with a full width rock and roll bed, yacht-grade timber floor and LED lighting. In car entertainment is courtesy of a JBL GTR Bluetooth amplifier with speakers to the cab and rear. The van has been serviced regularly, and is offered with a valid MoT certificate.

Finished in white with matching interior riding on chromed 15″ Empi 5-spoke alloys with Yokohama tyres, this is a truly stunning van either for collectors or for light commercial/promotional use. This uber-cool VW Split Screen Panel Van is guaranteed to attract attention wherever it goes!
