Bella The Bus - Goodwood Revival

Harry Pitcher • September 22, 2025

Everyone meet Bella, a 1963 Volkswagen Split-screen Type 2 campervan, owned by team member Andy. Bella was invited by Goodwood to attend the 2025 Revival meeting as part of a 75 year celebration of the VW Campervan. The reason we are featuring Bella is because many years ago she received a d:class retrim for the front and rear seats. Baby blue nappa leather with cream leather binding to match the bodywork of the bus, To keep the seats looking period, we fluted the seats for that retro look.

As part of the celebration at Goodwood, all 75 split-screen campervans were invited onto the track each day for a 2 lap parade. There were many variations, in all shapes, sizes, colours, styles, and themes. From police vans, ambulances, fire trucks, decorated "hippie" buses, race team support vehicles, twin-cabs, single-cabs, and wedding vehicles like Bella.


We created some customised overalls for Andy to wear, featuring old-school style d:class logos front and rear, both with Bella illustrations created by us.
