This bright red and pale grey T1 Camper would be easily spotted on your chosen campsite and it comes with smart beige interior including floor, seating and dashboard/steering wheel. Registered EUY 711C from 1956, it features the split windscreen of the early model, which earned it the nickname Splittie! Its other name, particularly in Europe, was the Kombi, although we in the UK referred to the T1 as a Camper. We love the deep V front panel complete with VW badge; Additional features include the louvred windows to the sides and rear and the lift-up roof made space for taller occupants when in a stationary position. Together with the large roof lights, it gives light and airy feel. Pure nostalgia – we can remember that softly purring engine, even now.
