SUMMARY
Fitted with shelf in cab to double up as a bar. Constructed from original or patent OE equivalent 1950s T1 parts, including original lights and window rubbers and using period correct paint colours.
DESCRIPTION
Fitted with a wooden work surface, LED illuminated indictors, headlights and cab with remote control. All the panels were spot-welded where needed and welded to a frame to allow it to be wall-mounted. The split-screen panel with the Perspex windows had to be put in at a more acute angle than standard for it to look right, the side fillets are bespoke and not purchased front wings. Apart from that, everything else is exactly as it should be, even the mounting brackets for the bumper are the real thing. The huge VW badge was sourced from a company in Germany. The coachwork was by Baker Body Craft in Bury St Edmunds and the colours are genuine 1950s Volkswagen. With over 40 man-hours to complete, this is obviously a work of passion!
This high-quality piece of modern art could grace the premises of a 'Splitty' aficionado, car collector or a Volkswagen dealership. Unique!
