The Volkswagen T1 is without doubt one of the most iconic utility vehicles ever built. Thanks to its characteristic split-window windscreen, air-cooled boxer engine and charming design, the T1 became a worldwide cultural icon. Today, this model is highly sought after by collectors, surfers, classic car enthusiasts and investors thanks to its unique appearance and ever-growing popularity.

This 1966 example benefits from a good professional restoration and is presented in a particularly attractive Orange-White colour combination. The vehicle combines authentic vintage appeal with a well-kept presentation and fully retains the typical character of the early Volkswagen Bus generations. Thanks to its iconic styling and versatility, this T1 is a true eye-catcher at events, rallies and summer outings.
