I've been riding my bike to work just for the pleasure of owning a split kombi (needs some work for registering). My wife and I are having a baby now and I've been urged to sell it so we can buy something more "baby friendly". It's got quite a history with show business, and it comes with its original documents.
Please add the details as per the rules of placing an add.

Somebody was kind enough to find its year. It's a March of 1955 model.

No empi, it's 'show fair' history. Going around to local shows for years on end, being the audio station for the event basically. The announcer would operate from within the bus, which he had converted into an office.

Good idea, Andy. I've uploaded another picture page with some pictures from the engine bay area. Will be adding more pictures of the engine bay later today.

Thanks King--I'm happy to see it go to somebody with plans for it. I found the question was funny in a "...are you serious...?" sense. Hope they buy the van and then grab the stanley knife to save the safaris. Then hopefully they'll give the rest to me as they won't have a need for it. :P

That's a somewhat misplaced statement considering it sold to an Aussie.
Took me that long to get all of the pictures up, but I'm glad I went to that length because I wanted the buyer to know exactly what they were buying. Also, the kind of person who would stay up till 1 in the morning over a volkswagen is the kind of buyer I wanted. :thumb
Jonno777 ·
New buyer's from Sydney area. Would be nice to see it again in the future.
What kind of work do you do up there, Bruce?
Secoh ·
thats what happens when no-one here is willing to part with their money.
Secoh ·
that doesn't make sense considering it was auctioned.
Secoh ·
just means you didn't bid high enough! :p

But it sold to a guy in Sydney, I sold some parts to him a while back.

haha, exactly, glider.

As long as the seller and the buyer are happy, it has nothing to do with anyone else.
Cheers

frenzix ·
plenty more out there that's true!! i have one on there at the moment
waltermitty ·
same guy 'trainspoter1968 ' bought the old fish kombi also . He could well be filling containers but hey if we dont buy them someone else will and there are those of us who need to sell.
I am greatful that mine went to George at Cupids weddings not just as he will look after it and it will get used but it will stay in Here. But I needed a sale and if I was offered the money i needed from someone OS i would have had no choice ( or at least the luxury ) of refusing. Mitchell
VolksFolks ·
Walter, i think you are mistaken dude, 1976kombi bought fish's old one not the trainsspotter chap..
waltermitty ·
yes your correct volksie I am confused, This happens to me occasionally .Same point though if the seller needs to sell then he sells to whoever comes up with the doe, if its local its better but few can afford to choose. Great it stays then. Mitchell

thats right walt, forgetfull its calld gettin old matey..
Jonno777 ·
Good points, Mitchell. The thing is, for any of us to suggest that this kombi or the other kombi trainspotter bought is going os. is purely an assumption unless otherwise stated by the buyer.

forgetful is alzimers ( old timers ) disease commonly known as C.R. A. F. T. Cant Remember a F..ing Thing
I suffer from occasional confusion which is more like dementure. Im hoping for a touch of old times to compliment it then when I get confused I wont remember it. Mitchell
Yes 777 we, I , have no idea where its going and as you say can only speculate and respect your right and the buyers right not to tell us and really who cares anyway deals done . Mitchell
