KEY FACTS This Volkswagen Kombi Splitscreen is a characterful classic bus, with just three owners from new, and reported to retain its matching-numbers engine.

It is powered by a naturally aspirated 1.2-litre flat-four, producing up to 26kW, and driving the rear wheels through a four-speed manual transmission.
