1978 VW campervan , westfalia, Classic VW camper SOLD
No expense was spared when we restored this 1978 bay-window camper, which has been converted for right-hand drive and comes with a Westfalia pop-top. The bodywork has been re-painted in genuine vintage VW colours, Titian red with a grey-white top half after first being stripped back to metal. Not only is the bodywork ?awless but this is an extremely solid vehicle, with both the chassis and undercarriage in excellent condition. Mechanically we undertook a full overhaul which included reconditioning both the 1600cc twin port engine and the four-speed gearbox.
The interior comes with everything that you need or would expect in a campervan including; a cooker, sink and fridge, lots of storage, a 240v hook-up, and a split charge leisure battery system. Heat is supplied by thermostatically controlled Propex gas, which can also be used whilst driving. You have the ability to comfortably sleep four people with the further option to add a cab bunk. New three-point inertia-reel seat belts have been fitted throughout the interior for added safety, especially for younger passengers. The refurbished cab is clean and tidy and comes with a colour-coded dashboard that features both a DAB radio and CD player. The finishing touch is a custom made, oatmeal coloured, carpet set.
We have recovered the upholstery throughout in burgundy leatherette for an authentic vintage look. The original seats have been swapped out for with more comfortable modern replacements that have been ?tted to look like the originals. The passenger seat features a swivel base and can be utilised as an extra seat whilst the van is in camping mode. The bed cushions are brand new. The pop-top is an original Westfalia roof fully refurbished with a brand new canvas.
Since completing it's restoration a little over four years ago, we have carried out the vans annual service and regularly wax oiled the bodywork. The van runs as smoothly today as the first time we took it out of our workshop and still looks pristine. Shortly after completing the original restoration Volksworld Camper & Bus magazine ran a feature on the van which, in itself, is testament to both its build quality and fantastic condition. At current prices to source and restore a similar van to this standard would cost in excess of £40, 000.
It’s available to purchase at £29, 999. 00 please call to arrange viewing the details below
