Rare VW Bay Palomino 1978 For Sale

Reluctant sale of this extremely rare and attractive Right-hand drive VW T2 Camper Late Bay Palomino conversion - apparently there is only a handful that were produced and sold by Palamino.



The Palamino was the luxury conversion of its time which means you can stand up fully inside at all times...

‘Flora’ was manufactured in 1978. This is your chance to own an exceptionally reliable and rare VW Campervan that gathers appreciative looks and comments from anyone that sees her. She's a great example of his kind.

The van has benefitted from a full restoration as you can see, including a complete body back to bare metal, all doors and hatches sand blasted new jacking points, outriggers and front clip . The engine was overhauled including a full gearbox rebuild Her interior was designed for comfort, looks and practicality so maybe not be for VW purists, but definitely for those who want a great looking, comfortable and stylish van with character.



This is an unfinished project due to other commitments and would befit from a slight interior make over. The van has a broken accelerator cable and a temperamental earth to the starter. So will need trailered away. But a weekends work would see her ready enjoy.

‘Flora’ is fitted with 240v hook up and cable (so you can plug in your household electrics), a gas powered fridge (ideal if you’re not at a place with electrics), a gas hob and grill and even a kitchen sink!she can sleep two adults (in a fully flat rock and roll bed) and up to two kids (in hammocks) and has complementary curtains throughout.
‘Flora’ also benefits from a range of useful storage cupboards .

The 2 litre engine with twin Webbers cruises easily (and reliably) at 60-70mph.
