Comments from the seller

For Sale: 1965 VW Kombi “Skarlett” – A True Classic with Heart With a heavy heart, it’s time to find a new home for my much-loved Skarlett. She’s been an absolute gem — a true head-turner who never fails to attract smiles, waves, and warm attention wherever she goes. Sadly, I just don’t have the time to take her out as often as she deserves. Now that I’m no longer offering wedding transport, it breaks my heart to see her spending more time in the shed than on the open road. She was made to be seen and admired, and I’m hopeful she’ll find a new owner who will love and appreciate her as much as I do — someone who can give her the adventures she’s ready for. Imported in 2015 and in my care since 2019, Skarlett and I have shared many wonderful memories together. She has played a special role in countless Country Weddings, bringing her coastal charm and classic style to brides, grooms, and guests alike. She has her own Facebook page if you would like to see more photographs of her stylish adventures - https://www.facebook.com/skarlett.celebrations Over the past few years, Skarlett has undergone an extensive mechanical restoration, ensuring she’s as reliable as she is beautiful: * Fully Reconditioned 1600 engine (replaced in 2021) – with very few kms added since installation * New heating tubing and control knob – perfect for those cooler days * Engine rewiring * Disk brake conversion * Overhauled gearbox * New fuel tank, and lines * New steering box * New ignition system * Fully reconditioned gearbox * New tyres * Serviced regularly If you’re a true VW Kombi enthusiast looking to own a piece of motoring history with style and soul, Skarlett might just be the one for you. Serious enquiries only, please. Contact me to arrange an inspection — you won’t be disappointed.
