1978 VW camper bay window ,rot free California import SOLD

For sale 1978 T2 tin top Camper US ( Oregon) import LHD

Tuesday 20th of March , today I’ve added a set of replica Porsche Fuchs alloy wheels see last 2 pics the others are also available ( your choice) also the van will be available for viewing at the Volksworld show this weekend.

This is one very very very solid camper .
If your looking for the usual pastel shiny happy camper then this isn’t for you ( there’s plenty of overpriced shiny rusty vans on e bay )

What you’ve got here is one of the best vans we’ve seen for ages in pretty much original paint apart from a few repairs that we have done here and a few US repairs that we’ve tidied up from minor car park skirmishes over the years .
The body although in amazing shape for its age does come with a it’s fair share of dings , dents , scuffs and scabs all adding to its superb character.
We’ve replaced the battery tray and lower rear corner and carried out a small cab floor repair , everything else is totally original and in amazingly good condition.
Inner and outer sills are perfect as are all jacking points and out riggers , front axle wheel arches and cargo floors .
Basically it needs nothing.
Mechanically it’s pretty stock with new rear brake shoes, wheel cylinders and flexi hoses and new front disc pads .
New shock absorbers front and rear .
The engine is a very strong 1600 cc with twin 40 carbs ( not a lot of history but a test drive will show you how good it is )
Suspension wise it’s had a set of adjusters fitted to the front axle in order to lower it mildly and a one spline turn at the back .
Ultimately it still drives really well and doesn’t feel harsh or dangerous. If however you want to be one of the cool kids we can easily swap out the beam for a fully narrowed and dropped one and wind the back down to get it sitting on the floor .
We built it to be used as a camper so kept the ride height somewhere in between stock and low.
It’s sitting on a set of new wolfrace retro style slot mag alloy wheels with brand new 195/ 50/ 15 tyres .

On the camper side of things it has an original westfalia berlin interior fitted which consists of a 3/ 4 rock and roll bed , cooker , sink and fridge box along with 12volt split charge and leisure battery and a 240 volt mains hook up with a double socket and safety trip out consumer unit .

The bed has been retrimmed in matching vinyl as have the front door cards and kick panels .
We’ve fitted a full silent gliss curtain rail kit and tailor made curtains with black out lining for a perfect nights sleep .
The flooring has been replaced with new Altro heavy duty vinyl flooring and full carpet set in the cab and over the front wheel arches , along with new safety belts front and rear .
It’s also a CD player and fm stereo fitted.

It’s has full UK registration with mot until November 2018 although I’d be happy to put on a fresh full 12 months mot for the new buyer .

I’ve priced it at £20, 000 due to its originality and amazing condition of all it’s metal work.

In summary it’s one very special bus ready to go just , fill the fridge with beer and off you go it’s sold by people who restore these things every day and know a good bus from a bad one .

I have lots of photos available of underneath and of it whilst we were carrying out the work on it , which I’d be happy to send on to interested party’s via a drop box link.
