A vintage Volkswagen Type 2 T1 microbus in the "Samba" special edition (aka "Microbus Deluxe" or "Sunroof Deluxe" in the English language markets).
This is the 21-window version that was built from August 1963 through 1967. A company in Munich uses this historic vehicle for special sightseeing tours.
Also note the magnetic holders for the tours sign - to qualify for an "H" license plate the car must be restored to original state, therefore the sign cannot be firmly attached with screws or other fasteners.

The first generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 with the split windshield, informally called the Microbus, Splitscreen, or Splittie among modern fans, was produced from 8 March 1950 through the end of the 1967 model year. From 1950 to 1956, the T1 (not called that at the time) was built in Wolfsburg; from 1956, it was built at the completely new Transporter factory in Hanover. Like the Beetle, the first Transporters used the 1100 Volkswagen air-cooled engine, a 1,131 cc (69.0 cu in), DIN-rated 18 kW (24 PS; 24 bhp), air-cooled flat-four-cylinder 'boxer' engine mounted in the rear. This was upgraded to the 1200 – a 1,192 cc (72.7 cu in) 22 kW (30 PS; 30 bhp) in 1953. A higher compression ratio became standard in 1955; while an unusual early version of the 30 kW (41 PS; 40 bhp) engine debuted exclusively on the Type 2 in 1959. Any 1959 models that retain that early engine today are rare. Since the engine was discontinued almost immediately, no spare parts were made available.

The Volkswagen Type 2, known officially, depending on body type as the Transporter, Kombi and Microbus, and informally as the Bus (US) or Camper (UK), is a panel van introduced in 1950 by German automaker Volkswagen as its second car model – following and initially deriving from Volkswagen's first model, the Type 1 (Beetle), it was given the factory designation Type 2.
Like the Beetle, the van has received numerous nicknames worldwide, including the "microbus", "minibus", and, because of its popularity during the counterculture movement of the 1960s, "Hippie van".
Also called:
Volkswagen Bus
Volkswagen Camper
Volkswagen Delivery Van
Volkswagen Kombi

Volkswagen Pick-up

If I had possession of this classic vehicle I would keep it in a better state of repair and not filed with junk. I had the pleasure of driving one of these around for a day many years ago and it surprisingly handled very well and preformed well enough if you were competent enough with a stick shift. These were well liked by hippies and other frugal road vagabonds with good gas mileage and were easily converted into workable travel vans.
