Catawiki’s goal is to make special objects universally available. Our weekly auctions feature thousands of unusual, rare, and exceptional objects you won’t find in just any store. Beautiful Volkswagen T1 Samba, completely repainted and rebuilt. With the well-known roof windows and sliding roof of course.
This original VW T1 from Brazil has been fully restored in Brazil and painted in beautiful Olive Green and the roof in Lotus white. The bottom, interior, etc. are also all painted and this makes for a fine end result. It is not an original Samba but a beautiful replica. Much attention has been paid to details, such as a matching dashboard and rims with chrome trim. The chassis, axles and doors have also been painted in colour.
This T1 has the well-known air-cooled 1500-cc engine with 4 cylinders. The engine runs well, the transmission shifts fine. The van is from 1969 and therefore has to meet much less requirements (in many countries classic cars from 1970 have to meet stricter requirements).
On the inside it has a completely new interior, from new curtains, ceiling, side panels, new seats, sun visors and, of course, the sliding roof. The seats are upholstered beautifully in a combination of white faux leather on the sides and light brown parts on the seats. The front windows are the well-known pop open Samba windows, in other words, they can be folded open. Even the pop out side windows (known from the Samba model) have been installed. A new, original chrome-plated Volkswagen logo on the front, roof racks with VW logo and the original VW hubcaps with chrome trim make this T1 van a real eye-catcher.
This van was imported from Brazil and still has a Brazilian registration. All import duties have been paid and naturally, the customs documents and registration papers are included. Please note that this T1 was restored in Brazil, not in Europe. To prepare the van for entry into Europe, I recommend taking into account 10% additional costs (estimate) for final adjustments, replacement of the Brazilian headlights / headlamps for European versions, some final gaskets or brake shoes, etc.
The van is located in Delden, the Netherlands, you are welcome to come and view it in advance. The van needs to be picked up within 14 days after the auction is closed. I am happy to help you arrange transport, indicative prices for Europe are displayed at the auction. The van is sold 'as is, where is'. This is a private sale, warranty does not apply. 66509609
