1963 Volkswagen Type 2, 11 window Split screen Kombi Camper with a 2.5L 149cu Subaru engine conversion

A rare opportunity to own a genuine 'Cali Splitty' In an incredible condition. This is by far the cleanest bus I have ever come across and had the pleasure of offering for sale…

US supplied factory LHD in 1963, imported to the UK in 2016 and undergone an incredible transformation into what you see today by Marc Bebb at Border Restoration UK

This Type 2 has been professionally fitted with a water-cooled Subaru EJ201 engine by 'Fellows Speed Shop' of Birmingham. In conjunction with this Red 9 Design twin wishbone coilover suspension has been fitted. Custom American Racing forged alloy wheels have been fitted and the Type 2 has been repainted in a fetching Sherwood green hue.

The other upgrades relate to the instrumentation and switchgear. These have been significantly upgraded to feature a set of Drift digital gauges covering speed, engine revs, water temperature, oil pressure and fuel level.

Our Type 2 has enjoyed a major upgrade in terms of propulsive power in the past, courtesy of specialists Fellows Speed Shop in Birmingham. Fellows have undertaken over 400 Subaru conversions with the flat-four Subaru EJ201 engine being a very similar size and shape to the original air-cooled units. What is far from similar, however, is the power outputs of the two units with the EJ201 likely adding nearly 100bhp to the 40 or so that the original engine would have delivered

In order to help manage all those extra horses the Type 2 has had a Red 9 Design twin wishbone coilover suspension system fitted together with uprated disk brakes fitted at each corner

The engine bay looks great with Fellows Speed Shop seemingly having treated the Subaru unit to a few coats of green powder coat during the upgrade. It is also known that they undertake a full service including new cam belt and tensions, water pump, thermostat and all engine consumables during the conversion.

She's has covered minimal miles since the work was carried out.

The underside of the Type 2 looks very good with lots of thorough modifications to suspension, brakes and exhaust systems being evident. The floor underside and other panels look in decent shape for the age of the bus.
