Description
This 1964 Right-Hand Drive VW Split Screen Camper Van is a beautifully restored classic, offering a blend of vintage authenticity and modern functionality. Originally imported into the UK and converted by Devon, it features a Dormobile roof, a bespoke interior, and a matching Harris single-wheel trailer. The van has been meticulously over-restored to a remarkable standard, ensuring longevity, style, and usability.
The restoration involved replacing approximately £5, 000 worth of panels, ensuring rust-free perfection using premium parts from KlassikFab and Autocraft. The van is finished in striking Fiat Bianco and BMW Imola Red, with pinstriping by Neil Melliard. Every detail, down to stainless steel nuts and bolts greased for longevity, showcases an obsessive attention to detail.
The interior is a thoughtful blend of Devon and Westfalia inspirations, crafted in solid oak by Kustom Interiors, with soft furnishings by Aircooled Upholstery. Features include insulated soundproofing, modern lighting, and beautifully upholstered Devon-style seating with re-chromed hinges. Additional modern touches, like tinted glass, a Retrosound stereo, and upgraded electrics (hazard lights, reverse light), ensure comfort and convenience.
Mechanically, the van is equipped with a 1699cc single-port mini stroker engine, designed for torque and hill climbing, paired with a 70s AD-code gearbox with swing-axle conversion. The front end includes a Creative Engineering "weedeater" beam with 2. 5” dropped spindles, and brakes remain classic drums but with a remote servo for extra stopping power. Genuine Mooneyes Speedmaster wheels complete the package.
One of the standout features is the Harris single-wheel trailer, a rare 1960s accessory manufactured in California by Harris Manufacturing Company. Painstakingly restored and painted to match the van, this unique trailer adds practicality and charm. A bespoke tonneau cover protects its contents, while custom brackets were engineered to attach securely to the van’s chassis, ensuring safe and stable towing. The trailer is slightly angled to match the van’s lowered stance, preventing wheel hop and providing a seamless look and ride. It even features a discreet connection in the engine bay to power the trailer’s lights, maintaining functionality and style.
The van also includes a stainless-steel Dormobile-style roof rack, modern seals, additional pop-out windows, and updated lighting for comfort and usability. Whether you’re looking to relive the golden age of VW camping or simply want a head-turning classic, this Split Screen camper offers unmatched charm, functionality, and attention to detail.
