1966 VW Splitscreen Camper (sale pending) For Sale

This '66 German built bus was delivered to the UK over 22 years ago from Los Angeles, UK registered then never used over here & just stored in a barn.
Over the past couple of years I set about a sympathetic restoration, it had been painted over in the States by some unknown blue type of paint which then resulted in most of the bus to be bare metalled none of it's original outer paint was left.
Not much welding was required & where it was needed was mainly due to light accident damage. This included, very lower o/ s/ r corner panel & battery tray, complete cab floor from Wolfsburg West, slim lower front panel & small screen repair. All the rest is original & completely sound including underneath.
1500 engine was removed & freshened up as well as the brakes, electrics & anything else needed. Stock height on its original gearbox.
I decided to repaint in its original colours, titan red & beige grey, I also found the original paint in the engine bay hiding under black spray so made the decision to keep its originality there. I wanted the hard wearing benefits of 2k but didn't like it's modern plastic look so set about creating a silk finish using the 2k paint to give it a more authentic look.
Interior is basic but decided on a sealed beach ply headliner, karndean parquet flooring & the rest for the new owner to add their personal touches.
I've clear waxoyled the underside so everything can be seen, no hiding here with horrible black stuff.
It's not a show bus but an honest useable bus not hiding a thing. I'm sure there's plenty more to say, I have photographic evidence of the whole process for serious enquiries only.
