Description
Up for sale as a project/ recommissioning opportunity is our 1975 Left-Hand Drive VW T2 Bay Window campervan, finished in its original shade of Taiga Green.
This is a genuine European-market factory Westfalia layout that has been parked up and stored for a number of years. It represents a fantastic, honest foundation for a classic VW enthusiast looking for a winter project or a rewarding rolling restoration.
Historic Status: 1975 registered, making it Historic Vehicle status in the UK—meaning it is 0 Road Tax (VED), MOT exempt, and ULEZ exempt.
Engine: Fitted with the desirable, torquier 1800cc Type 4 air-cooled engine, which has been converted to a single central carburettor for simpler tuning.
Note: As the van has been standing for a number of years, the engine will require a full service and mechanical check-over before being fired up or driven.
Interior: Retains its classic, unmolested original Westfalia interior layout featuring the rock-and-roll bed, rear-facing buddy seat, and original brown plaid upholstery. The interior will benefit from a thorough clean and light tidying.
Body & Rolling Stock: Shows honest, age-related patina inside and out with typical areas requiring cosmetic and structural attention. The van will definitely need new tyres and a thorough check-over before hitting the road.
Sold as a project requiring collection. Due to standing for a few years and requiring new tyres, buyers will need to transport the van via trailer or recovery truck.
Viewings are welcomed and encouraged for serious buyers. Please get in touch via message or phone call to arrange a time to inspect the van.
We originally fell for this bus because it isn't an overly polished show van you’re afraid to take down a muddy festival track—it’s an unspoilt, authentic slice of 1970s camper heritage. Between the classic Taiga Green paintwork, the original brown plaid Westfalia upholstery, and the retro curtains, stepping inside feels like a genuine time capsule. It’s a bus with real soul that’s ready for someone to bring back to life and make their own memories in.
Why You’re Going to Love It
Genuine European Westfalia Pedigree: Unlike standard panel-van conversions, you get the proper, factory-designed Westfalia layout—complete with the full-width rock-and-roll bed, rear-facing buddy seat, rear luggage cushion, and sliding side windows for easy ventilation.
Effortless Cruising Power: Fitted with the larger, torquier 1800cc Type 4 air-cooled engine (upgraded to a single central carburettor for simpler tuning), it’s far better suited to modern roads and hills than a standard 1600cc camper.
Stress-Free Classic Ownership: Being 1975 registered, it qualifies for Historic Vehicle status in the UK—meaning £0 Road Tax (VED), MOT exempt, and 100% ULEZ exempt.
