1965 De luxe micro bus
21 window Samba right hand drive 9 seater
It’s time for someone else to enjoy this awesome bus
I have owned this car for 10 years and enjoyed every moment.
This bus was Melbourne delivered where it stayed till a Japanese collector took the van to Japan for 15 years. I’m the 3rd owner since it returned to Australia. It was repainted in 92 with no rust repairs done.
Velvet green/ pearl white. Bus n bug did all the seats and panels in Platinum/ Gold. Both paint and interior is correct to birth certificate which will be supplied.
In 2013 it had all running gear refurbished along with a new 2110cc motor with dual 36mm Italian webers as well as a lot more work which I can supply on request built by Geoff Scott.
The transmission was rebuilt close ratio with tall 3. 44:1 diff & 4 gear . 82 ratio by Gary Butler
It is still running the original reduction hubs and cruises at 110km with ease. I would be surprised to have done No more than 5000km on the motor.
For a car of this age I would say it would be one of the best unrestored ( no rust repairs ) Samba’s. It’s original even down to the floor mats. There are some paint issues below the belt line but does not effect its beauty.
Paint is a 8/ 10 and drives a 9. 5/ 10.
Selling as this bus deserves to be driven and seen and I just don’t have the time to do so.
You won’t be disappointed !!!
