Volkswagen Typ 2 T1 Transporter Kleinbus — 1966

This well-preserved bus boasts both a beautiful patina and an exceptionally rich history of both utility and pleasure. With only two previous owners who used it actively and a low mileage, it's a bus that ticks all the right boxes – perhaps even all of them.

"Indeed, the condition, history, and originality are three crucial parameters that receive high ratings. These qualities make a significant impact on the value and desirability of the vehicle, ensuring it stands out as a remarkable and sought-after piece."

Description

It was registered in May 1966 and delivered to SSA, Svenska Sockeraktiebolaget, in Staffanstorp in the fall of the same year. The current owner's father-in-law was a foreman at SSA, and when the bus was to be sold by the company in 1980, the owner and their partner were offered the opportunity to buy the Volkswagen bus. They gladly accepted the offer and used the bus for their honeymoon trip to France, visiting Normandy and Paris. They also made a stop in Amsterdam. The bus was driven sparingly but was cherished and used for quality time over the years. However, in recent years, it has mostly been kept in storage. The odometer has with great certainty only done one round, the total now being 104 896 km.

Condition

  • Mechanical condition

    The original engine has been replaced with a more powerful 1500 cc engine producing 44 horsepower, and this modification has been duly noted and registered. Recently, the car underwent an overhaul of the electrical system and received a general service. The engine has good power and the gearbox feels fine, but there is an issue with the reverse which tends to jump out of gear sometimes.

  • Interior condition

    The interior is nice and fresh with normal wear and tear, where the driver's seat naturally requires a small upholstery repair, which seems to be in the form of sewing stitches. The repair is not urgent and appears to be in good shape. During the honeymoon trip, the middle sofa was replaced with a simple bed construction, and the central sofa was removed. It has now been replaced with a sofa from another bus, featuring a slightly different upholstery. The holder for the small dining table remains on the right rear door, and the table itself is still present. The interior roof is in good condition, and the upholstery in the cargo area looks fine.

  • Exterior condition

    The original paint is polished and surprisingly in excellent condition. There is some surface rust around the window edges and stone chip cracks on the front, which add to the attractive patina. The bumpers and wheels have been repainted. The model year has rear doors on both sides, and this configuration is said to be a result of the upcoming switch to right-hand traffic in 1967. The central auxiliary light was installed by SSA as a sort of searchlight when they drove around the fields, inspecting sugar beets during nighttime driving.

  • General condition

    A bus that can attract many bus enthusiasts, it is untouched in a way that is particularly appealing. And for those who enjoy amusing registration numbers, this number may hold a special significance and value for a Simpson fan. Google "Doh!" to find out more.

  • At this auction, many vehicles have been included in car collections and have been stored (mothballed) for a long time. For this reason, they are described from a collector's perspective and may need technical reviews and maintenance service - oil, battery replacement, new tires, brake review, etc. - before they can be used. .
  • During the auction days information about a vehicle may be updated up to the day before the auction ends. When you bid at the end of the auction period - and also if you have made an earlier bid - we therefore ask you to read the descriptions carefully, in case something has been changed due to new information.
