Because hippiebusjes in concoursstaat are desirable.

The 217.800 dollar that this hippiebusje from 1963 in 2011 was afgehamerd will it not pick up, but the expectation is that the price for this right-hand copy is still between £70.000 (€92.000) and £75.000 (€98.000).

The reason for this high amount: it is the first Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) that the wheel ashore and put in the United Kingdom. He was in november 1955, imported by John Colborne-Barber, the country’s first VW dealer. Because this Samba version never was officially included with our westerburen is there at all a rarity. And to see the price continue to drift him even rarer: this is also the only left Samba in there with the steering wheel on the right side.

In the past year and a half, the bus is fully restored, with the original Devon interior was saved. He has an original Osokool fridge and a stove of Dudley. A certificate of authenticity, issued by the Stiftung auto museum Volkswagen, is missing either.

This splitscreenbusje on the nab can at the Race Retro Sale of the Silverstone Auctions on 21 February. One of the most Porsche-block you will find on eBay.
