Price Guide: $85,000 - $105,000
1962 Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi, 1.6-litre air-cooled horizontally opposed four-cylinder (rebuilt 2019), 4-speed manual, rear-wheel drive, left-hand drive, 55,541 miles, 9 seats.
Description
The split-window Volkswagen Kombi is one of the most desirable collector vehicles in the world right now. Produced between 1950 and 1967, the Type 2 split-screen era is defined by that iconic two-piece windscreen, and examples in excellent condition from the early 1960s command serious money at international auction. This 1962 example sits squarely in the heart of the most sought-after period, finished in the factory colour combination of Pearl White (L87) over Mouse Grey (L325), repainted in these correct shades following restoration work. The split windscreen, Safari windows, and rounded roofline are all present and correct, and the two-tone presentation is exactly what the market wants.
Inside, the Kombi presents in exceptional condition across all three rows of seating. The grey vinyl bench seats are clean, the headliner is intact and unworn, and the corrugated rubber floor matting is in excellent shape. The dash retains the period-correct ivory painted layout with original gauges and a correct black steering wheel. Seatbelts have been retrofitted as a practical safety upgrade. The 1.6-litre twin-port engine was completely rebuilt in 2019, which is documented among the accompanying paperwork. The engine bay carries age-appropriate grime on the block itself, but the electrical components have been updated with non-original wiring runs and a large red battery cable, suggesting some electrical work has been done since the rebuild. The safari windows are present and the exterior trim, window hardware, and VW chrome hubcaps all present well with the two-tone paintwork showing even gloss across both colours.
This Kombi has earned real recognition in the Australian classic car community. It took People's Choice at the 2017 Classic and Automobile Club of Australia event and Best Volkswagen at the 2021 German Auto Show. It comes with import papers, the original owner's manual, original radio booklet, and a collection of restoration and maintenance receipts. Split-screen Kombis in this condition and with this level of documentation are trading at strong numbers. Recent comparable sales in Australia and internationally for quality examples have been in the $85,000 - $105,000 range, with exceptional cars going higher. This is a genuine opportunity to acquire a documented, award-winning split-screen in correct factory colours with a freshly rebuilt engine.
