The Appeal

Fans of original VWs rejoice. The thriving customisation scene that surrounds the marque is all well and good, but isn't it nice to find such a well-preserved early 'Westy'?!

This left-hand drive van was acquired in 1998 by the vendor's father, a classic vehicle collector who kept it in a heated garage and reportedly never drove it. In 2016, it was gifted to the current owner and shipped to the United Kingdom, where it was brought up to UK regulations. It is presented in a teal and ivory livery and was fully serviced in mid-2025. With its strong provenance, a range of included accessories, and upgrades for touring use, this Westfalia camper is well worth closer inspection.
