1963 Volkswagen Split Screen Pick Up | Chester, Cheshire

A 1963 Volkswagen Split Screen Pick Up, the single-cab Transporter with a divided windscreen and the driver seated above the front wheels. The model is known for its flat load bed and its link to 1960s counterculture imagery. This one is red with a cream interior, and it has been restored to very good condition. The front carries a broad V-shaped pressing and a big VW badge, while the two-seat cabin is plain and uncluttered. An upgraded 1806cc engine sits at the rear, beneath the bed. It is left-hand drive: the driver sits on the kerb side, so the front passenger steps out on the road side. Film and television productions set in the 1960s get a period face that reads clearly on camera, and the red paint stands out in fashion and editorial photography. At events, the wooden bed carries flowers, product displays or launch props. Weddings and themed days gain an open-bed alternative to a conventional car. The pick-up is based in Chester, Cheshire.
