Introduction
Glyn Parry
This is the original multi-purpose vehicle - an original 221 VW Microbus.
There are not many vehicles out there that are so instantly recognisable. However the sum of its parts go beyond the image as just a leisure vehicle, its roots are deeply encased as a practical vehicle created to transport goods or people. Based on the Beetle, the first incarnation of the van left the factory in 1949. Known officially as the Type 2, Volkswagen seized on its potential for export markets. Its qualities of reliability, practicality and a low price made it a very appealing commodity across the world.
By the time the sixties arrived, the van had become something of a symbol for the counter-culture, further etching its place into history. With this epitome of cool and having established a durable reputation, the desirability of the original Type 2 Split screen vans particularly in passenger form soon gained momentum. Prices for decent passenger models started to climb as early as the '70s and by the '90s the 'Splitty' was firmly priced in the classic car category.
This rust-free 1967 Californian Volkswagen Microbus has been recently imported and then restored to a very high standard in the UK, with a stack of paperwork to go with it. Finished in near original spec, it has a handful of details that could still surprise the most ardent of VW fans. Quite simply a stunning example, which will melt your heart.
