We have had a wonderful time with this bus and it has taken our family on a lot of trips. We have now outgrown it and would like to see it go to someone who will continue to care for it and use it. It has been fixed up over the years by two different owners and looks and runs nice. This is not a showroom bus but it turns heads and gets lots of compliments. The paint was done a few years ago as well as a new hemp canvas pop-top. The bus has the double bed with a cot in the pop-top and a child's cot in the front (all included). It also comes with an add-a-room tent with privacy cabin that attaches to the side door of the bus. The tent is very well made and can stand alone from the vehicle. The colour of the bus and the tent look very nice together, not the ugly bus colours you often see. Check out the add-a-room tent at busdepot.com/details/addaroom/
The bus has a unique European seating layout and a propane refrigerator has been added. Another plus with this bus is that it has the factory installed Eberspacher gas heater in the back that runs on a timer. The heater can be used when driving or when parked camping. We replaced the engine with a 2.0 and it is running great. It has more power and is much quieter than the 1600 we drove all over the country. The tires are in good shape. Custom curtains and wood flooring give this bus a sweet style.
We will include lots of receipts, manuals and books including a John Muir How to Keep Your Volkswagon Alive Manual and a Bentley Manual.
See pics of rust on front floor boards and in back under the battery. The door panels in the front could be replaced and also the wood panel on the back hatch and a little of the plastic trim around cabinets. The window crank is broken off the sliding door. Driver's seat is ripped, passengers seat is not. Back upholstery is looking good. The bus runs and drives great. No drive train problems. It has the typical VW oil drip. Mileage exceeds odometer limits.

VW redoes A-ha's 'Take On Me' music video
Wed, 18 Sep 2013Volkswagen has been responsible for its fair share of witty, clever commercials. "Tiny Vader" might be the most popular, but somehow, we think this newest spot will find a big audience. VW delivers not so much a cover, but a reimagining, of 1980s Norwegian pop band A-ha's famous music video for "Take On Me."
The original opens with an animated motorcycle race, which is revealed to be part of a comic book. VW's version replaces the motorcycle with a Passat, which strikes us as an oddly sober choice when there are cars like the GTI and Beetle in VW's portfolio. But never mind that - take a look down below for the entire 46-second spot. For reference, we've also included the original music video. And if you aren't a fan of the musical stylings of A-ha, just think, VW's choice of 1980s music could have been much worse.
Brazil contemplates safety exemption for VW Kombi as it goes out of production today [w/poll]
Tue, 31 Dec 2013Brazil: the country of carnivals, indescribable beauty adjacent to abject poverty, Ayrton Senna and old Volkswagen models. Only they're not old - they're new, they're just based on old designs. The original Beetle continued production there long after it had been phased out elsewhere, but the original Kombi van has lasted much longer. That ends today, however, with the iconic VW Microbus ambling out of production on the last day of 2013.
VW kept making the van in Brazil with the original air-cooled 1.2-liter boxer four until 2005, after which the original design was updated with a 1.4-liter water-cooled engine. Today, however, it ultimately falls prey to safety regulations that mandate that all vehicles - no matter how old their design - need to have airbags and ABS, forcing Volkswagen do Brasil to cease production of the Microbus after a 56-year production run. But the latest word is that the Kombi (as it's presently known) could get a stay of execution - or at least a resurrection in short order.
According to reports, the Brazilian government is looking into granting the Type 2 Microbus an exemption from said safety regulations, reasoning that the van was designed long before the advent of airbags and ABS. If the measure goes through, the Kombi Last Edition (pictured above) could prove not to be the last at all. So what do you think, should the Microbus get an exemption from Brazilian safety regulations for nostalgia's sake? Vote in our poll below, then have your say in Comments.
Bentley considering diesel engine for new SUV
Wed, 05 Mar 2014Turns out, in case you didn't know, the rich are just like regular people. They too are concerned about the environment, even when tooling around town in their super-luxurious Bentleys. So the automaker is weighing the idea of offering a diesel engine in its SUV offering, which could help satisfy customers' demands for more fuel-efficient engines.
Chairman and CEO Wolfgang Schreiber told Autoblog in a roundtable interview at the Geneva Auto Show that the automaker is researching whether or not a diesel engine makes sense for the brand. Bentley, owned by the Volkswagen Group, could in theory use a diesel engine from anywhere in the Volkswagen Group family. We at Autoblog have hopes they'll revive the V10 TDI used in the VW Touareg until 2010, but ever-stricter emissions laws would likely make that problematic.
But rich people aren't so much like us that they'll be worried about petty things like pricing. Schreiber admitted the diesel engine could be a $15,000 option, which he said customers would probably find "acceptable." Given that the cheapest Bentley today starts at $177,000, typical customers probably won't be diddling around worrying about an extra 15 grand.
