oh ha, I did like this before, now when did I see it ? That's ok, good to see it again. It really makes me want to finish my 66 so 42 pop top. Same color scheme, velvet green and white just looks super.

I just bought a 66 SO42. I'd love to meet Ewan someday and talk VW's and Star Wars :)

I drove one of these for about five years starting when I was 19, until I was 24, and it was definitely the most fun of all my vehicles. That includes a Roadrunner, a fixed up Ford Econoline, and an early Toyota Celica, but nothing compared to my Westphalia, with a state of the art Alpine Amp (50 watts per channel!!! LOL), a couple of big ol' house speakers, and a Sony tape deck. If there was a bush party, I was invited. Spent many a night camped out in the bush, or camped outside a bar sleeping it off instead of driving home drunk. Thing went 55 mph max on the highway...50 mph if there was much of a headwind.

Nice lil camper, when I was 10 there was a white one in a feild I use to play in. No wheels on it. We were going to drive it someday.

Bad Ass Bus Bro.

I've got an early 68 SO67 Bay (there's a video of it on my KZbin channel), the SO42 Splittie is my dream bus.

Sharp looking!

[@Markybug-Keira-Cody]

Is Ewan selling all his vws ??

[@Carchaeology]

Just a couple of them.

[@Ron-ws5lu]

Worth 200k

[@Carchaeology]

Probably not...more like 65-75k

Beautiful but S042 campers were never two tone.

[@Carchaeology]

Actually there were two tone SO42 models produced. I had a Titian red and white one years ago and if you search online you will find others. It is very uncommon though and I am pretty sure this particular example was solid Velvet green from the factory.

[@64fillmore]

@@Carchaeology I have two 67 S042's both solid colors one only has 43k miles. You taught something new

[@DanTheManIOM]

And for the white top ones, they painted it white first and then added the lower color. My 67 sundial is white, my 66 so42 is white, my 65 standard is sea blue/cumulous white, and my 67 deluxe is titian red/silver beige. Deluxes sometimes, were solid color. FWIW.

Too bad it's going back to Europe...
