This 1959 Volkswagen Type 2 is finished in green over beige upholstery and powered by a replacement 1.6-liter flat-four paired with a four-speed manual transaxle. Features include a vinyl and cloth bench seat, a fold-down rear sofa, a Pioneer CD stereo, a push-button AM/FM radio, wood flooring, a 12-volt electrical system, and 15″ steel wheels with chrome hubcaps. The bus was originally delivered to Copenhagen, Denmark, and was reportedly acquired by the seller in 2003 and transferred to his niece in 2018. Service in January 2021 included a valve adjustment and an oil change.
Finished from the factory in a two-tone scheme of Seagull Grey and Mango Green, the body was reportedly repainted in its current shade of green about ten years ago. Exterior features include a white logo and bumpers, pop-out trafficators, twin side mirrors, and aftermarket tail lights.
Finished from the factory in a two-tone scheme of Seagull Grey and Mango Green, the body was reportedly repainted in its current shade of green about ten years ago. Exterior features include a white logo and bumpers, pop-out trafficators, twin side mirrors, and aftermarket tail lights. The cargo door handles have been removed, and the engine door latch is missing. The removed rear bumper overriders are included in the sale.
Black 15″ steel wheels with chrome VW-branded hubcaps are mounted with 205/70 Bridgestone Weatherforce Plus white-stripe tires, and a spare is stowed in a storage compartment beneath the front bench seat. The seller notes that the parking brake is not connected.
The bench seat is trimmed in black vinyl with gray cloth inserts, and the cabin features a body-color dash, black rubber floor coverings, and a beige headliner and door panels. A Pioneer CD stereo joins the push-button AM/FM radio, and lap belts are provided for both occupants.
A painted two-spoke steering wheel sits ahead of a 100-km/h speedometer. The five-digit odometer indicates 78k kilometers (~48k miles).
Beige upholstery extends to the rear compartment which features wood flooring and Kenwood speakers. The sofa folds flat to provide sleeping space for two.
The replacement single-port 1.6L flat-four features a 12-volt electrical system. Service in January 2021 is said to have included a valve adjustment and an oil change.
Power is sent to the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transaxle.
