This example features a rebuilt and reliable 1600 cc engine paired with a manual gearbox, ensuring dependable performance while maintaining its classic character. The body has been neatly repainted, showing minor age-related imperfections appropriate for its 65-year history.

It shows no visible rust or accident damage, and both the lights and electrical components function correctly.
The Volkswagen T1, affectionately known as the “Bulli” or “Microbus,” is one of the most beloved vehicles ever built. Introduced in the 1950s, it became a global symbol of adventure, community, and independence. With its distinctive split windshield, air-cooled engine, and versatile interior, the T1 captured the spirit of the open road like no other. Today, well-maintained and upgraded examples like this 1961 camper remain highly desirable among collectors and travellers alike, combining vintage charm with dependable usability for both display and weekend getaways.
