The Volkswagen T1 Samba is regarded as the most luxurious and iconic version of the early Type 2 range. Introduced in the 1950s, the Samba stood out with its distinctive 23-window configuration, panoramic roof and bright two-tone colour schemes. Designed to transport passengers in comfort, it quickly became associated with freedom, travel and the emerging counterculture movement of the 1960s. Today, the T1 Samba is one of the most sought-after classic Volkswagen models, valued for its unmistakable design and cultural significance. Its air-cooled engine, simple mechanical layout and timeless styling make it a favourite among collectors and enthusiasts worldwide.
