Volkswagen - T1 - Samba 23 Window - 1972

Beautiful Brazilian Volkswagen T1 Samba, the luxury van from 1972 with 23 windows, beautiful red / white colour scheme, open folding roof, open Safari windows front and side and a beautiful new interior. This original VW T1 from Brazil was completely restored and painted in 2021 by an experienced T1 workshop in Brazil. It is not an original Samba but a beautiful replica with all the details and sun windows. The van was completely repainted in the beautiful two-tone combination of red with a lotus white roof. The chassis, the axles and the doors are in very good condition as well as along the bottom, see photos. The bottom was also sprayed in red. This T1 has the well-known air-cooled 1500cc engine with 4 cylinders. The engine runs fine and the transmission shifts properly. The interior was fully reupholstered with new materials: new curtains, headliner, side panels, new seats, sun visors, and of course the folding roof that can be opened. The seats are beautifully upholstered with a combination of light grey imitation leather on the side and white seat areas. The sewn patterns in the seats complete the look along with the chrome handle rails. The front and side windows are pop-up Samba windows, they fold open. New, original chrome-plated Volkswagen logo on the front and original VW rims with chrome hubcaps. The curtains, whitewall tyres and double roof rack complete this van. The van still has a Brazilian registration certificate for registration almost anywhere in Europe. Please note, this T1 Samba was restored in Brazil. A Brazilian restoration is usually less good than a European restoration. There may therefore be some small points that may fit or close less well than if a European workshop had done the restoration. The price also reflects that: you would pay 3 to 4 times more for an original T1 Samba restored in Europe. Therefore, this is your chance to own a beautiful T1 Samba replica for an attractive price. Some country-specific work might still need doing or some final adjustments to meet European requirements as well as your own quality standards. A 50-year-old van will of course have the odd spot, and we’re not sure the tank gauge works. New ignition lock fitted, the ignition key no longer fits on the door locks. This Volkswagen T1 is really nice all around and in very good condition. The van is sold "as is", it is always possible to come and have a look at this beauty in advance to see what you are bidding on. This is a private sale, a warranty therefore does not apply. The van is in DELDEN (the Netherlands) . You can get my details via Catawiki to arrange a viewing. Have fun bidding!
