VW Kombi Vans - not the way they were intended
Welcome to this
un-comprehensive site on modified VW Kombi Vans and in particular an example from New Zealand called ZIPPEE.
This site features a modified Kombi Van called ZIPPEE along with a number of other examples of the 'art' of cutting a Kombi Van in half. See some great cartoons of Zippee as drawn by a local artist along with other "small friends" of Zippee from around the world.

Who is Zippee ??
My name is Karl and I run a Mobil Service Station in Tauranga, New Zealand. Zippee is my daily transport to work and around town. Over the years I have owned Zippee he has had a number of different paint jobs. Check these out in "Small Friends".To learn more about Tauranga check out "Zippee Lives Here"

Who cut him ??
Unfortunately I do not know who gave Zippee the big chop. I obtained Zippee under unusual circumstances as part payment for an overdue debt. At the time I did not want the van, but would rather have had the money. When he arrived he was not in good shape, tyres were flat, engine was worn out and it had a picture painted on the side of a boat (the previous owner). After some deliberating whether to keep this dilapalated van I decided to give it an identity and use it as marketing tool for my Service Station. Over the years Zippee has had a number of facelifts including new paint, graphics, engine and internals.
