Seller's Notes

This Volkswagen T1 Splitscreen Campervan is an attractive example of the iconic German classic, which has been rebuilt, refurbished, and tastefully upgraded. Under the rear engine lid sits a naturally aspirated 1.6-litre air-cooled twin-port flat-four, driving the rear wheels via a four-speed manual transmission. The vehicle spent time in South Africa before being imported to Australia. The odometer shows 23,215 km, though this is not warranted. This Type 2 (T1) Campervan is finished in a resprayed two-tone white and Mint paint scheme, over a retrimmed white and blue vinyl interior featuring a white dashboard and new black carpets. It rides on a set of 15-inch white-painted steel wheels with chrome hubcaps, shod with whitewall tyres. Equipment includes semaphore indicators, and a push-out safari-style windscreen and side windows. It has Mk1 Golf suspension, front disc brakes, new floor and sill panels, and additional sound proofing. Accompanying the vehicle will be around 12 pages of maintenance and parts invoices, and a valuation report from Wat Swaai Jy, dated March 2023. Please refer to the photo gallery to assess the exterior and interior condition. The spark plugs, coil pack, and battery have recently been replaced, and a safety inspection report (pink slip) has been issued. This Volkswagen T1 Splitscreen Campervan is an iconic German classic, which has been rebuilt, refurbished, and tastefully upgraded. It would make an enjoyable companion for weekend adventures, or an entirely usable retro daily driver. The description of this consignment is, to the best of the seller’s knowledge, accurate and not misleading. Collecting Cars requests a range of detail about the lot from the seller and performs a level of due diligence. However, potential buyers must independently satisfy themselves as to the accuracy of the description. Potential buyers should view or arrange inspections as well as conduct any research they feel is necessary before committing to bid or buy. Please note that it is not uncommon for classic or collectible vehicles to have received cosmetic repairs in the past, either to rectify damage or refresh appearance, and this work may be undetectable even upon visual inspection. Unless there is an explicit statement by the seller to the contrary, please assume that any vehicle could have had bodywork or paintwork during its life. Furthermore, photographs may not reflect the true colour or full condition of the vehicle. It is a bidder’s responsibility to satisfy themselves of the colour and condition of a vehicle, including its interior and the existence of any remedial bodywork or paintwork, before committing to bid or buy. This includes by raising enquiries with the seller in the comments section. For vehicles, unless otherwise stated, potential buyers should also assume that any cherished registration may be retained by the seller. Please see our Terms and Conditions for full details.
