About the Panel Van
Windowless commercial variant offering maximum cargo space. Same air-cooled mechanicals as passenger models. Period signwriting and commercial history adds character. Increasingly converted to campers but original panel vans scarce and desirable.
Known Issues to Watch For
Rust in sills, floor sections, and around windows. Engine cooling critical in vans. Reduction box issues on early models. Fuel system corrosion. Cab door hinges wear and crack. Difficult to source correct glass. Seals perish allowing water ingress.
Desirable Options
Samba specification (extremely valuable). Split windscreen. Original paint. 1500cc engine conversion. Safari windows. Westfalia camping interior. Matching numbers. Period accessories and camping equipment.
