Very few cars seems to have just about “everything”, we get the honors with this to present you one of this rare birds!
From the M-plate we learn that this cutie is built on exactly Thursday November 4 from the year 1971 what makes it a 1972 model year. Production number was 7854. Destination code UA do tell us this baby was exported straight to Los Angeles, USA, place of Sun, beach, surfing and… rust-free cars! This is the first and nevertheless most important fact on this bus, rust-free!
What let this little gem stand out from the ordinary? First the BIG steel sliding roof, bay windows with these big sliders been called not for nothing the Samba bus of tomorrow. We included a new set of sliding roof cables, unfortunately some of the guides are still missing. Total seats seven, voted the best configuration by many, walk through in the front, two seater in the middle and a full width three seater in the back. Now here start the real special about this special edition… This rear seat in addition of a very well thought after and cleverly installed hinge mechanism turns this original rear seat into a bed in no time! Just like the Multivan features in more recent years, just watch the pictures.
