"In 1963, Sweden drove on the left side of the road, and this vehicle was perfectly adapted with the steering wheel on the right side and the side door on the left. Nowadays, this contributes to its cool style and makes the bus even more exotic. Today, these right-hand-drive models are highly sought after in England. There are no significant remarks. The restoration has been kept at a moderate level without any exaggerations, resulting in a slightly customized and usable vintage bus. Suitable for both shopping trips and car meets. Needs to be checked by the vehicle inspection."

Description

This is truly a cult bus. A luxury bus is on many VW enthusiasts' wish list. Here we have a luxury bus that underwent a restoration in the early 2010s.

The engine has been replaced, resulting in a more potent vehicle, and some subtle custom tricks have been employed. Lowered suspension, replaced rear lights, and a relocated license plate contribute to its appearance. The vehicle was registered in 1983 and has since had 5 owners. The current owner has had it since 2011.

Since its inspection in 2014, it has only been driven 440 kilometers. It has thus been used sparingly, and since 2016, it has been stored in a garage. The odometer currently reads 75060 kilometers. We don't know its total mileage.

The bus needs to be taken to the vehicle inspection. It was last approved in 2014, so it needs one last approved inspection. After that, it will be exempt from inspection according to vintage vehicle rules. The original jack and spare wheel are missing.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition:

    NOTE: New information: Time booked for vehicle inspection on September 16th to check the car and chassis number as there are metal repairs in this part of the car. (Near the battery where it usually rusts)

    Normally functioning vintage vehicle. 12-volt electrical system.
    When cold starting, one has to pump the gas pedal a few times since it lacks a choke.

    The engine has been replaced and it's equipped with dual Weber carburetors. The engine is equipped with dual oil coolers. According to the Swedish Transport Agency, the bus is registered with a replaced engine, text code 31A. The power output is listed as 42hp in the vehicle registry.

    The gearbox has tight, smooth gear positions. The carburetors have been recently disassembled and ultrasonically cleaned, and a new starter battery has been installed. There's some oil moisture underneath the engine. See pictures.

  • Interior condition:

    Complete and neat vinyl interior. New inner roof and sunroof. Equipped with the rare accessory of a clock. Also fitted with luggage racks, commonly known as jailbars. According to the Swedish Transport Agency, the vehicle is registered with the text code T20E and can be equipped with seating for 6 passengers in the cargo area. The spare tire well has been removed to provide more space in the cabin.

  • Exterior condition:

    Sleek and tidy exterior. An older repaint that is still in good condition. Next to the VW badge on the front, there is a crack in the paint. It's likely an older bodywork dent showing itself. See photos. The body has undergone some sheet metal repairs. The floor panels on the underside have been replaced with straight sheets, as was often done in the past. The owner has acquired the correct floor panels, which are included. These are epoxy primed. See separate photo. A mild customization has been done, and the rear end of the bus has been retrofitted. The space for the license plate in the engine cover has been filled in, and the rear lights have been replaced with the smaller 1950s lights. Equipped with a sunroof and an opening windshield.

    The body alignment could have been better. Examine the photos closely.

  • General condition:

    The overall impression is very good. With the lowered suspension, it has the right look that suits contemporary Volkswagen collectors.

    The body alignment could have been better. Examine the photos closely.

  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends.
