Volkswagen T1 Samba 23 Window - electric conversion for sale

As dealers in classic and modern classic cars, its not often that we'd prefer an electric powertrain over an internal combustion engine and a manual gearbox. However, in this instance we'll make an exception!

Many of you will have driven a VW Camper in your youth and whilst the charm and aesthetics of a type 1 cannot be matched, the performance on modern roads with a Beetle type 1 engine is pretty dire! Even if have a modified larger capacity air-cooled motor, motorways are not always a pleasant experience! Our desirable 23 window Samba solves this problem with the fitment of an electric powertrain by eClassics and Murschel Electric Cars GmbH in Germany. This is the company that the VW factory use for conversions on classic models, vindicating the quality of their work. The bus has a range of 250 km, a top speed electronically limited to 130 km/h and torque figures that any air-cooled vw can only dream of. Importantly with modern refinements, it's as easy and comfortable to drive as a modern car.

The owner of this example spent 83,000 euros on the restoration and conversion of the bus, excluding the cost of an ultra desirable T1 23 window donor vehicle. 

Offered today due to a change in circumstances, our Samba after minimal use since it's restoration/conversion, represents tremendous value and an opportunity to beat the 2 year waiting list for a conversion with eClassics.
