VW Samba Bus Mouse Grey/Pearl White

The Samba Bus was the top of the range in style and luxury in its day, boasting innovative features such as the two pivot doors at the side and a fabric sunroof. The front windscreen was split but the bus boasted a wealth of side and roof windows giving maximum light and opportunity for taking in the view. The Samba’s two tone colour scheme was standard and also featured a decorative strip along the body, which here separates the grey beige of the lower body from the lighter pearl white upper body. The roof is finished in the same shade as the upper body with the sunroof panel in matt oyster white. Looking through the windows, we see the seating and floor moulded in dark grey beige. External trim is silver, wheels are white as are the front and rear bumpers, which also echo the fine silver and red beading on the bodywork. Our bus is registered XKO 177A from 1963.
