1963 | Volkswagen T1 minibus

Volkswagen T1 (1963) – EU version of the iconic two-tone split window bus

This Volkswagen T1 was originally delivered in Germany on September 2nd, 1963, in its original Mouse Grey colour. Today, it is finished in a stylish bordeaux and beige combination that enhances its appearance. The famous “split window” is a true icon for collectors and classic camper enthusiasts. Partially restored and in running condition, it offers a solid base for further refinement or immediate use.
