The Appeal
The Volkswagen T3 Westfalia Joker is a classic van that combines practicality with vintage charm. Continuing the traditions set in motion by the T2 before it, the T3 was larger and undeniably more practical than its predecessor and has become a popular pick for camping and life on the road.
This 1988 van has been restored over 14 years of ownership, with over £20,000 spent on restoration and maintenance. The van has been resprayed, a new engine and turbo have been fitted, and a new Brickwerks bellows/roof tent was installed in April 2022. This is an undeniably attractive prospect for summer off-the-grid living!
