According to Walter Zeichner's "Volkswagen Transporter/Bus", 1989, the
sliding door was introduced in 1966. I'm pretty sure I remember my San
Francisco cousin Theresa had a sliding-door Samba, which eventually was
written off in an accident.

Jaochim Kuchs' "Volkswagen Model Documentation" places the sliding-door
date in May 1963.
