– Panorama roof with folding canvas top

This 1965 Volkswagen T1 Samba is a well-known classic and one of the most distinctive versions of the T1 series. The Samba was the top-spec model, featuring 23 windows and a large panoramic roof with a folding canvas top. This car is powered by a 1500cc 4-cylinder engine paired with a 4-speed manual gearbox, offering an authentic driving experience. It was restored in the past with attention to detail and originality.
The two-tone paintwork in white and red is classic and well-matched, complemented by chrome trim and original steel wheels with VW hubcaps. Twin rear doors open to a grey cloth interior that matches the exterior’s style. The panoramic roof and foldable canvas section create an airy, open feel—ideal for summer drives. As an original 23-window model, it offers charm and period-correct details throughout. Paint and interior show minor signs of use.
