Kombi Weddings '71 Kombi Refurbishment
1971, Low Light Deluxe
Assembled in Australia, the ‘Low Light’ Kombis can be identified by a rectangular set of lights below the headlights. Built between 1968 and 1971, they were the first of the Type II bay window range. As the split screen (Type I) range re-gained popularity, the Low Light Kombis were often cannibalised for parts for restoration. As a result, the Low Lights are a particularly rare find.
We are often asked about our Kombis, the restoration process and where we found them.
Here is a synopsis of the process with our sLow Light Deluxe Kombi.

Our 71 Deluxe was a one owner vehicle, happily living in the Blue Mountains since new. |

A new sun visor was in order, and the new bars and a body polish have smartened her up. |

A 1776cc engine makes this a nice cruiser; along with adjustable beam up front and rear adjustable spring plates which all help with a smooth ride. |

The interior was restored in keeping with its original style. |
We were very proud to receive a First Place Trophy for our '71 Kombi at the 2012 VW Nationals. |
