This is a rare and special factory right hand drive Westfalia with the elevating pop top roof that has been completely restored with a new top quality beige canvas including three opening side sections with mozzy nets. The bus is also a desirable walkthrough model meaning that you can walk freely from the cabin to the habitation area when required without the need to exit the vehicle.
In the ‘upstairs’ section, there is a well-engineered double bed with a flip opening hatch section for access, ideal for children or even small adults. This makes the van a 4 berth with further opportunity to increase the living and sleeping space with the use of a good quality driveaway awning. Please contact us if you wish to discuss this further.
