Exterior

This distinctive and desirable first generation T1 Splittie was subject to a bare metal restoration with a full photographic record and completed March 2018.

Being a genuine factory RHD means the barn doors open on the left hand side.

The stunning two-tone paintwork in Khaki & Mint green has a deep bright uniformed shine throughout with super straight panels, excellent panel fit and gaps. Almost all of the glass in the 11-window shell is original VW, all rubber seals have been replaced, 2 x pop-out side windows. All external lights, deluxe trim and brightwork are in stunning order. One key fits the ignition barrel and all external locks this has just been completed at a cost of in excess of £800.

The chassis is in excellent order and has been professionally but lightly waxoyled. The Splittie rides on professionally fitted I.R.S. and has been subtly lowered without compromising comfort for long journeys.

Engine & Transmission

The spotlessly clean engine bay houses the original specification 1493cc 4-cylinder Single Port Air-Cooled rear mounted Boxer engine. Needless to say she runs perfectly with no issues, starts from hot or cold easily and idles as it should. The clutch is light and progressive in operation, the 4-speed fully synchronized gearbox selects gears easily... Wonderful, a joy to drive and what an unmistakable sound track.

A CE approved automated engine bay fire suppression system has also been fitted.
