I was approached by a customer today to keep my eyes open for a camper van. Ideally a left hand drive and pretty much sorted. Nothing top dollar but as this isn't my money I'll consider looking at most things that don't require ANY welding or major mechanical issues. Also ideally want to be a Westfalia.
do they have a bigger van to swap? i'm getting grief thanks to lester poptop and his amazing horsebox.
I have one I'm restoring to sell, LHD Auto westy Berlin will be very nice ,£16k ish They can see the work etc but would be 2-3 months
Don`t forget if you recommend a camper you are responsible for it and future breakdowns.. Just a little experience I once had...
We'd consider selling ours if there was no hassle of advertising etc involved but its totally sorted so prob over budget on what we'd need to get back on it. Wife has never been happy with the orange! Drop me a pm if interested, original Helsinki interior so v practical.
No idea if it's of any use to you but @Joker has a LHD ex-USA Westy he is selling but it's a rolling shell, with roof, doors and glass. Body is a bit dinged here and there but aside from rust under the windscreen is rock-solid ....it even has the original Westy labels riveted to it. I would say an ideal base for someone wanting to make a bus to their own spec.
Hi I have a 1973 Tin top westy , manufactured in 1973 but registered 1/1/1974 with free road tax, recently imported from Arizona, USA, LHD, all registered, taxed and MOT'ed, great original vehicle with mostly original paint and great new interior including new wood headlining, seat covers and rear cushion covers (and foam), new door cards in correct green vinyl, front kick panels, vinyl flooring, and front rubber floor mat, pair of new UK headlamps with halogen bulbs and UK spec. lenses, all new steering arms, new brakes, master cylinder and hoses, recent starter motor, new CV gaitors, pair of brand new Weber 34 ICT carbs on original 1800cc engine.
