Fully Restored RHD VW T1 Split Screen Campervan

This fully restored VW T1 Split Screen campervan is a rare and highly desirable example, combining classic style, modern usability, and a stunning new interior. As a Right-Hand Drive (RHD) model, it offers a more comfortable driving experience on UK roads—an essential spec for many enthusiasts.

As an early pre-1962 model, this camper features the sought-after small rear window and tailgate, widely regarded as giving these buses their purest, most iconic shape. Further adding to its rarity, this is a double-door model, allowing access to the living space from either side—an incredibly practical and desirable feature for camping, road trips, or just showing off at events. Additional rear side windows have been tastefully retrofitted, making this a 13-window bus, while US-spec bumpers enhance its already classic aesthetics.

The van has undergone an extensive, bare-metal restoration, with all necessary panels replaced before being professionally primed and finished in Pastel Blue and Cream, perfectly in keeping with the early 1960s VW color palette.

Mechanically, the van is powered by a 1600cc Twin-Port engine, displaying 31095 Miles (Non verified) which starts and runs beautifully through the gears. Six side-opening pop-out windows with polished frames and matching front Safari Windows—worth over £1,500 alone—give the bus a bright, airy feel and add to its classic charm. Retaining its original steel wheels and polished VW hubcaps, this camper stays true to its roots, maintaining the best possible look for a Split Screen bus. It also features the desirable early full-width front bench seat, a detail many later models lose in favor of modern replacements.

Inside, the coffee beige vinyl upholstery with matching piping on the front seats and rear cushions gives a timeless and elegant finish. The interior layout consists of two opposite-facing rear seats, storage drawers with cooking facilities, and multiple cabinets, providing plenty of space for life on the road. A drop-down TV screen with DVD player adds a touch of modern convenience.

This is an incredibly well-restored and beautifully finished Split Screen camper, blending classic 1960s charm with modern usability. It’s ideal for camping trips, weekend getaways, or even as a showpiece.
