Meet The Rare ‘Volkswagen Samba’ With 23 Windows, The Most Luxurious Version Of Type 2 (T1)
Meet the rare ‘Volkswagen Samba’ with 23 windows, the most luxurious version of the now iconic Volkswagen Type 2 (T1).
Samba had bi-parting doors instead of sliding door, windows with chrome tables, more comprehensive dashboard than the normal T1.
Standard paint finishes on the Volkswagen Samba were two-tone and options for the model includes large fabric sunroof.
Volkswagen produced Samba between 1951 and 1967 and advertised the model for making tourist trips through the Alps.
Samba and concept of a van with high window count was discontinued when VW started producing T1 (the T2) successor.
The now iconic Volkswagen Type 2 (T1), initially derived from the original Volkswagen Beetle (Type 1) and officially known as Combi, was the first generation of Volkswagen’s Transporter family.
The Volkswagen Type 2 was available in several variants including vans, minivans, minibuses and pickups, but the most luxurious version were the campervans, marketed in the United States as the Sunroof Deluxe.
To distinguish it from the normal Volkswagen van, this luxurious model was named Samba. This particular model had 23 windows, including curved ones in the rear corners, and later 21 windows, including eight high windows in the roof.
In addition, the Samba had bi-parting doors instead of a sliding door while the windows had chrome tables and a more comprehensive dashboard than the normal T1. Standard paint finishes on the Samba were two-tone and options includes large fabric sunroof.
