Description

For Sale '65 VW LHD Split-Screen with American EZ Camper Conversion-

This 1965 VW Split-Screen camper features an original American EZ (Ee-zee) Camper conversion, complete with a walk-through cab, offering both charm and practicality. Imported from the US in 2012, this camper has been lovingly maintained since. It was carefully restored by Johnson Auto Works, maintaining its original patina white paint which is complimented with a satin finish red lower half. Creating a perfect aged effect that protects for years to come. Fully rewired by Ian at Auto Electrics, ensuring it’s as reliable as it is stylish.

The camper is powered by a reconditioned 1641cc twin-port engine equipped with twin Kadron carburetors, Mahle pistons, and barrels, providing smooth acceleration and performance. A machined crankshaft with new bearings contributes to the engine's durability, while the Vintage Speed stainless steel side-exit exhaust gives it a distinctive sound. An advanced VW Aircooled Works gas automatic fire suppression system adds peace of mind, while a Flamethrower coil and fuel pressure regulator enhance performance. With a late Bay master cylinder and dual-circuit brakes, this camper is built to handle modern traffic comfortably.

Wearing Wide-Five Fuchs replica wheels, the raised and reconditioned steering box provides a smooth ride, and the dual-circuit master cylinder from a late Bay model boosts braking performance across all four drum brakes, ensuring it stops with confidence. For a touch of authenticity, it’s fitted with a Splitscreen-only towbar.

The exterior features new replacement towel rail bumpers which have been powdered painted for longevity, and original easy side windows, bring a touch of classic Americana to this beautifully restored camper. On the front, we have safari windows from Creative Engineering for a touch of class.

Inside, the camper is adorned with custom ‘Fat Biscuit’ vinyl upholstery by Bromsgrove and oak-veneered cab door cards. Aircooled Accessories cab door handles complete the look, adding vintage detail to the interior. The oak-veneered interior is crafted using original EZ cupboard doors, creating a cohesive and functional space. The layout provides plenty of storage options, including a wardrobe, and under-seat compartments. The original EZ foldaway table is also included, allowing for practical use of space. A black-out blindfold for the front windscreen and rear tailgate adds privacy, while custom black-out blinds made to match the interior colour and fabric give the van a cohesive look.

On the market for £24500.

We’re based in North Devon, close to the beautiful beaches of Woolacombe, Croyde, and Saunton, making it the perfect weekend destination to come and view this unique camper in person. We can also arrange for national and international delivery. Thank you for reading.
