The Pseudo Samba – Finished!
Remember the ongoing story of the Pseudo Samba? You can read about it here…
Starting out as a humble mid sixties panel van, (converted to a nine window by Portuguese VW agent Geurin), we were commissioned to transform it into a 21 Window Deluxe. Here it is during conversion:
The client chose the colour scheme and wheels, and went for a Flat 4 Banjo steering wheel and CSP wide 5 discs up front. With the bus being used to transport family and friends, a hard wearing interior was assembled over an exact copy of the OG panels etc.
We took her out for a drive, accompanied by one of the “company cars”, our Porsche powered 2.4 litre 210 bhp single cab. Our mini convoy certainly turned heads…
Full spec of pop outs, full length sunroof, jailbars and deluxe trim, I think you’ll agree she’s a different prospect to her humble beginnings… The samba drives very well, and with all the windows and safaris open, sunroof pulled back, she’s a real sun magnet.
But that’s not the last of the sambas… we have another OG 21 window ready to be worked on, stay tuned: work will commence in September.
Important news is coming later this week, suffice to say something very rare is arriving soon, so keep coming back for updates.
For now, take care, all at Vintage Vans.
