Volkswagen Kombi Split Window
The Icon of Freedom

Few vehicles capture the spirit of adventure and freedom quite like the Volkswagen Kombi Split Window. Known worldwide as the “Bus,” the Splitty became a cultural icon of the 1960s – and this beautifully restored example continues that story in style.

This Kombi has undergone a full restoration, finished in an elegant two-tone red and cream paint scheme that perfectly complements its classic curves and that unmistakable large VW emblem up front. Period-correct chrome trim and hubcaps complete the timeless look.

Inside, the cabin has been completely re-trimmed in soft grey and cream vinyl, with twin bench seats facing each other for that classic lounge-style layout. The driver’s area is neat and functional, retaining that signature minimalist dash and large steering wheel.

Adding to its nostalgic charm, this Splitty features Safari windows – the ultimate natural air-conditioning for South African summers – bringing airflow and authenticity in equal measure.

Power now comes from a lively 1835 cc EMPI air-cooled flat-four engine, paired to a 4-speed manual gearbox. With twin downdraft carburettors, it delivers more punch than the original motor, while keeping the unmistakable sound and feel of a true Volkswagen classic.

Whether you’re planning to take it on the open road, use it for weekend cruises, or simply park it as a showpiece, this Kombi is ready for its next adventure, a lovingly restored icon with endless character.
