Attractively presented in an eye-catching ‘ice cream colour combination’ of Cumulous White over Turkis Green ‘LCV 215E’ has been in current ownership since 2014, and was acquired from a private individual who imported it from the American state of Pennsylvania. While under its present guardianship, this iconic vehicle has undergone a meticulous restoration by a renowned VW Camper restoration company, with a comprehensive collection of invoices totalling in excess of £50,000 substantiating the extensive work carried out during the ground-up, bare-metal restoration process. The camper has also benefited from a completely new interior and is fitted with a rock and roll bed and ‘pop-top’ roof, enhancing its versatility and comfort ready for its next adventure. It has further benefited from the installation of a brand-new engine, which has covered approximately 2000 miles since its fitting. This carefully restored, left-hand drive 'Splittie', presents a superb opportunity to acquire a highly desirable split-screen camper which has been restored with no expense spared, and with impeccable attention to detail and a commitment to preserving its original character. It is now waiting to share adventures with a new owner.Attractively presented in an eye-catching ‘ice cream colour combination’ of Cumulous White over Turkis Green ‘LCV 215E’ has been in current ownership since 2014, and was acquired from a private individual who imported it from the American state of Pennsylvania.

The Volkswagen Type 2 (the Beetle was Type 1) dates back to 1949, and has long since acquired cult status courtesy of such diverse celebrity owners as Jamie Oliver, Martin Clunes, Roger Daltrey and Jenson Button. It has been home to generations of travelling Australians, helped hippies survive the ‘60s/‘70s and become the transport of choice for many a surfer. Variously available in van, bus, single and double cab pick-up, Kombi and camper guises etc, it would probably have been nicknamed the ‘car that changed the world’ if the Model T hadn’t got there first. The immortal ‘split screen’ T1 variant remained in production until 1967, when it was replaced by the single screen T2. Currently in its sixth generation, what is now known as the Volkswagen Transporter continues to be successfully marketed worldwide.
