While the foundations of the Volkswagen marque were focused on the introduction of the Beetle as an affordable car for the masses, the companys Type 2 van has enjoyed equal acclaim as a cultural phenomenon. Deploying the same layout as the Beetle passenger car with a rear-mounted air-cooled engine delivering power to the rear wheels, the Transporter was often utilised as a microbus for carrying passengers, panel van for hauling goods, pick-up for utility, or for conversion as a camper van. The Samba was the most luxurious version of the earliest split-screen T1 Transporter, noted by its bi-parting cargo doors, large fabric sunroof, and 21 windows.
The example offered here finished production on 2 August 1966 and was delivered new to the United States some 10 days later. In its original form, the Type 2 was fitted with a 1,493-cc flat-four engine, though on inspection the van looks to have since been fitted with a Type 126 Volkswagen industrial engine with a 1.6-litre capacity a common replacement motor type for air-cooled Volkswagen vans. Acquired by The Godehardt Collection in 2018, the Microbus has been enjoyed on trips around Germany. With its timeless design, the Type 2 would be a charming addition to the collection of any enthusiast.
