Vehicle Description
Written documentation from Germany verifies this to be an extremely
rare, authentic U.S.-export Model 241 turquoise/white 23-window
Deluxe Microbus with Como Green interior. It had a scheduled
production date of May 8, 1963. The original VIN plate, M-code data
plate and chassis body stamp further confirm authenticity. It
features a full retractable sunroof, front safari windows and six
pop-out side windows. It is powered by the correct (and
date-correct) 1200cc engine with 4-speed manual transmission. It is
also equipped with a correct big-brake transaxle, correct German
square-weave carpet, vinyl headliner and two-tone Como Green
upholstery and panels. The drivetrain, suspension, brakes and other
mechanicals were professionally rebuilt. It has restored original
VDO gauges, radio and clock. Great care was taken during the
2015-17 complete nut-and-bolt restoration to replicate original
configuration and specifications of this ultra-rare Samba bus. It
features mostly original sheet metal with only test miles since
completion of the restoration.
