SOLD: ‘Elvis’ (1966 VW Splitcreen Campervan)
UPDATE 15TH MAY 2007:
JOHN AND PAM BOUGHT ELVIS 3 WEEKS AGO. LAST WEEK, THEY FLEW DOWN FROM EDINBURGH AND DROVE ELVIS BACK!
556 miles (with 2 stopovers en route).
They’d never driven a splitscreen before - nor left-hand drive. There were storms and strong winds. An epic journey.
Respect…
1966 VW Splitscreen Hi-Top Campervan
Originally an Air France Air-Crew Minibus, The Jem High-top extension was added in 1980. This kind of VW conversion was once popular in France, but is now very rare. As you can see, I’m a magnet for unique vehicles so I found it impossible to resist buying this one.
Rarer still for a 41-year-old European vehicle, Elvis has never needed his chassis welding.
With the extra room in the roof (his quiff!), Elvis is ready for an extended family’s summer camping.
