The first vehicle produced by Volkswagen was the Type 1, more commonly known as the Beetle. The next vehicle was known as the Volkswagen Type 2 and sported body types including; a Transporter, Kombi or Microbus. In the US it was affectionately known as the Bus, and in the UK, the Camper. Initially sporting a beautiful split front windscreen, the second generation, known as the T2 lost its distinctive front windscreen and was slightly larger and considerably heavier than its predecessor. Its common nickname is 'Bay-window' or Bay for short. The new model also did away with the swing axle rear suspension and transfer boxes previously used to raise ride height. Instead, half-shafts were fitted with constant velocity joints. Brazil contained the last factory in the world that produced the T2.
Presented here is a left-hand drive 1979 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper which was supplied new in California and never left the sunny state before being imported to the UK by our vendor in 2015. A ‘blue-plate’ bus, this example is finished in Taiga Green with a green plaid interior. This camper features a rear-hinged new pop-top canvas, a rock n roll bed, a sink, a fridge and captain seats at the front.
In 2016 the bus was stripped and glass removed before it was taken back to bare metal to reveal straight and original rust-free body panels which were then prepared for respraying in its striking original colour. The result of the warm California climate has preserved this camper and amazingly the original floorpan and factory underseal remains is super condition. Invoices for this work £6, 500 reside in the file.
Powered by a 2. 0-litre flat-four engine mated to a 4-speed manual gearbox, the power unit has recently benefitted some attention by Vee-Dubs of Kent in the form of a new cylinder head, resulting in a bill for £1, 000.
Supplied with a UK V5c and some invoices this strikingly original camper will impress not only on the road but also on the campsite!
