‘EVIE’ : Australian built, 1959, type 1 splitscreen kombi 

KOMBI EVIE's history. ‘Evie’ is an Australian built kombi; manufactured in Volkswagen's Victorian factory. She spent her youth living in country New South Wales where she was eventually discovered. Despite years of neglect, ‘Evie’ was structurally perfect. She'd been left in a farm shed which shielded her from nature's elements. Incredibly, her engine turned over and we were able to reverse her out, releasing her from her confines. ‘Evie’ was a true kombi 'barn find'.

Years of restoration has transformed ‘Evie’ to the beauty she is today. Like our other kombis, no expense has been spared. She's endured many beauty treatments including, (but not limited to) a painful dermabrasion, followed by a fresh coat of paint, a new engine, suspension, brakes, a complete interior fit out and soundproofing. ‘Evie’ likes to entertain so a brand new sound system was installed. Her restoration is true to her vintage and Volkswagen heritage. Even her seats are the original Volkswagen spring and coconut fibre, so they’re very comfortable. She now glistens with confidence and loves joining her friends ‘George’ & ‘Jo’ on the road.

“Wendy & Stephen are the loveliest and warmest people! The cars are so well restored and are a cut above the other businesses having seen other kombi companies in Sydney, they don’t even compare! Most of all I loved how they were lots of fun; playing happy tunes all the way there. I would definitely recommend them for a hassle free, professional and fun journey to your ceremony ! My mum thought it was one of the best parts of the day and enjoyed waving to all the people passing by.”
