westfalia spares UK any idea when the westy cupboard trim is coming in? And of course price? though i love my westy , if the price is too dear there are plenty of non replica alternatives!
I'm hoping! (fingers crossed) that I'll be in a position to get on with it end of year now. I've had to put it back due to the water filler neck and cap repro to be honest. I'm sure it wont work out to expensive.
Amongst good company at the Wickham Folf festival last year. the orange one behind us was a 'new purchase' by the young couple, a snip at £18k On a trip to Italy a few years back. Not long after this was taken (in the Alps maritimes) we were rounding a left had mountain bend, when a logging truck came a BIT TO CLOSE, I closed my eyes, heard a plop, and felt myself showered in tiny fragment of door mirror glass. How lucky was that! Totally mullered the mirror. So we thought where on earth are we going to get a new mirror in the Mountain region of France, where one NEEDS a mirror. About 5 miles further on we came across an 'abandoned' tin top in a layby, I say abandoned, because the engine was in the back, and the doors were open. Any way we relieved it of its door mirror. and we still have it on Pamps.
Just got my bus back from Robbie Platt. He's based just outside St. Neots and does an awesome job at good prices. Just got to stick the badges back on.
Here is my Bus Murtle the pics are from when I bought her in Calgary, Canada a road trip to the USA and finally camping here in Germany.
I have recently bought this 72 crossover, one family owned from new, very original. It is at the paintshop at the moment, I am trying to save as mucch OG paint as possible, then a service and away for a couple of days to test it out! http://s1066.photobucket.com/user/imjakethepeg/media/IMGP2418.jpg.html?sort=3&o=3
Sorry the photos are not what I expected ,anyway this is my Helsinki very complete with only the top bed and the table top not orginal, imported from Slovakia two years ago and as you can see it has had a full resto . gary
This is my 1974 Westy, 2 owners from new 53000 miles on original engine, I have owned it for 2 months, the last Baywindow I owned was 15 years ago it was Devon conversion and I must say the Westfaila is a far superior conversion - I have massive plans for my Westy and can't wait to give it my own touch!
In Dinan, France, summer 2013. Just behind the bus was an old moat which is now a boule court with about 8 games going on.
