The Appeal

Classic camping really does not get prettier than an original ‘splittie’ VW camper. This one was converted very early in its life by Westfalia before being exported to the USA for a life in the sun.

Specialist Karmann Konnection imported it here in 2009 before beginning a comprehensive two year restoration. The vendor acquired it soon after completion and its great condition now is a testament to his care of much loved ‘Nora.’ The van has been used regularly for UK and European trips, being carefully dried off and stored inbetween.

With its understated, highly original aesthetics and smart refurbished Westfalia interior, this classic van is a neat alternative to customised alternatives. It is in very good running order - confirmed by an advisory-free 2023 MOT test - and looks ready for summer.

The vendor says:

"‘Nora’ has been a great pleasure to have and has given my wife and I miles and miles of happy memories. She has her quirks and can be moody but she never once left us down. A childhood dream completed and will be very sorry to see her go."
