Manufacturer description

This vehicle was the perfect choice for anyone worldwide devoted to water sports and particularly surfing. It was big enough for all the kit and offered space for changing in and out of wet suits,  not to mention cheap overnight accommodation if necessary.

Here we see Oxford’s 1:76 scale top of the range VW T1 Samba bus model sporting a silver roof rack, complete with two brightly coloured surfboards. The body is decorated in bright blue and white and with white bumpers and wheels.  The interior is also white with a tan dashboard.  Registered NMU 267, this one definitely belongs on the beach!
