1978 '78 Volkswagen Westfalia Helsinki T2 Late Bay For Sale

We sold this lovely original Westfalia Helsinki to its current owner about 7 years ago, as you can see its finished in Marino Yellow L20A otherwise known as Chrome Yellow with its fantastic original, '70's plaid interior. We have the original dispatch note from Volkswagen when a German Doctor bought it brand new, we then have lots of receipts from its early years in Germany. It then came into the UK and still a good history. Its been very well looked after & loved, regularly serviced & is possibly the nicest bay window I've had the pleasure of driving, everything is as it should be, precise steering and gear change with positive brakes. About 6 years ago it had a little bodywork restoration, including rear corners, work on the dog legs etc and was resprayed in its original colours, which still looks nice now, just with just a couple of blemished if you look hard, but overall very smart. Westfalia's are probably the most sought after conversions, being very well built and this one is so complete and original, which makes it an extremely good investment. The Helsinki is a brilliant model, it has a solid double bunk in the roof again still wearing its original upholstery and is strong enough for older children or young adults. Then the rear 3 seater , seat converts into a full width rock n roll bed this has two 3 point seat belts. You'll notice the Westfalia unique white box on the front bumper, this is actually to store the spare wheel to allow maximum roof inside the camper both day and night. Its a walkthrough conversion with fold down hob, with the gas bottle cupboard conveniently sited below , at the rear of this is the wardrobe, complete with large mirror. Mounted to this is a very well designed swing out table, which can be moved to various positions and also doubles in size. As you enter the camper you have the sink unit, with cool cupboard below. This camper is so original it even has beautiful original curtains & even its original buddy seat and wedge cushion which are very often lost. You'll also notice it has a towbar, should you wish to hook up a small trailer, we can actually source an original Westfalia trailer, should you wish. We recently put this through an mot, so its all ready for the new owner and it failed on a headlight needing adjustment , a bracket to secure the battery and needed its wipers replaced ......... that's it, no advisories, there aren't many 39 year old vehicles of any pedigree that would pass that easily. We're pricing it very well at just £17, 995
