1957 Volkswagen Type 2 Pickup

This is a really smart right-hand drive Volkswagen Pickup. Originally sold in 1957 by Cooper Brother of Nairobi in South Africa hence the car's condition.We understand that it was remarkably sound when it was purchased by our vendors who are Porsche specialists in Scotland. It has never been restored and has only recently (2017) been painted, as one or two of the panels had faded slightly and were a bit mismatched. It now presents superbly in White over Baby Blue with White bumpers, two-tone wheels and a new White canvas top with a removable frame. For a commercial vehicle destined to be used as a runaround, the quality of the paint presentation is excellent and even the engine bay is well finished.This little VW has been driven all over Europe supporting the vendor's motor racing interests and they tell us that “It runs well but it's no Porsche, however, it suits its role as a support truck and has been seen at Goodwood, the Le Mans Classic, and the Historic in Monaco”. In this delightful colour scheme, it's a bit of a head turner and would make a great promotional vehicle.
