Description
Minty has only had three owners. We purchased Minty in 2021 via Just Kampers.
Powered by the original 1600cc air-cooled Volkswagen engine, this van has been carefully maintained and improved over the years. Recent mechanical work includes:
Front axle replacement
Brakes renewed
Shock absorbers replaced
CV joints replaced
Clutch replaced
Fuel lines replaced
New battery and starter motor
A comprehensive service has been carried out annually for at least the last 5 years and a substantial service history folder accompanies the vehicle, documenting previous ownership, maintenance, and restoration work.
A rare opportunity to own a beautifully maintained and much-loved 1973 VW T2 Bay Window Westfalia campervan, affectionately known as "Minty". Combining classic Volkswagen character with an original Westfalia interior and numerous mechanical and cosmetic improvements, this iconic camper is ready for its next adventure.
With just 77, 267 miles, a substantial history file, and careful storage throughout its ownership, Minty is a genuine, fully usable classic that draws admiration wherever she goes.
Interior
This campervan retains its original Westfalia interior, providing everything needed for weekends away or longer touring adventures, including:
Sink and water tank
Hob
Fridge style cool box
Original Westfalia cabinets and storage units
Original dining table
Gas safety modifications (making Minty suitable for hire)
Toad alarm and immobiliser system
Removable DAB stereo
Retractable seats belts front and rear
The full-width rock-and-roll bed and seats have been professionally trimmed in dark cream and white vinyl, complemented by matching door cards and gorgeous pastel curtains, giving the interior a bright and timeless feel.
The 3/ 4 Westfalia pop-top benefits from a replacement canvas and provides additional sleeping space for two children. A Propex HS2000 heater ensures comfortable camping throughout the year, and a new leisure battery has recently been fitted.
Exterior & Bodywork
Minty was comprehensively restored in 2014, including replacement window rubbers, door seals, and associated trim items. More recently, the van has benefited from:
Renewal of the front wheel arches
Bodywork detailing
Rust repairs where required
Fresh respray
New windscreen wipers
New exhaust
