Comments from the seller
The good:
Looks fantastic.
Right hand drive.
Compliance and engineering for 9 seats with seat belts, can supply certificate, and is on NSW rego database. This is a big expense and effort to get this done, so that’s a plus for this Kombi.
Drives well, everything works, starts first go, I drive it regularly.
Comes with panels and components from disassembled Kombi, as well as a full rust free chassis. Disassembled bus has compliance plate, so could potentially be used to rebuild a new project.
The bad;
Gearbox is a bit worn, still works fine.
Some rust in the chassis in places, I had planned to repair with sections from the rust free chassis to go with the bus.
Some body rust under windows and on roof, hasn’t gotten any worse in a few years.
Safari windows leak in the rain. They all do I’m told. This one is probably worse than most.
Steering box seems to be a modification. Works fine, but I had planned to restore it to the original system using parts from the disassembled bus.
It was registered as a 1985 when imported by a previous owner. I’m not sure what the provenance of this vehicle is. Could be an earlier original split screen, or could be a later T1.5 which has been converted to a split screen front end.
Summary:
Not a collector’s Kombi, not a show car. But at a much lower price. A good looking, driving, working, 9 seater split screen. If you want one that you’ll never need to improve, best to spend more and buy a better one.
If you want one that’s ready to drive and enjoy, and comes with the components to improve the few issues it has if you feel like doing them, and is cheaper than any other ready to drive 9 seater split screen Kombi on the market, then this could be what you’re looking for.
On club rego, so will be sold unregistered.
