It’s a vehicle that ticks all the boxes for enthusiasts and adventurers alike.
The restoration of this camper is nothing short of extraordinary. Every inch of the vehicle has been meticulously worked on, with extensive time, labour, and investment to achieve its exceptional standard. The process included replacing panels, addressing corrosion, and ensuring structural integrity. Both long and short side panels, lower front inner and outer valance, lower nose section, cargo floors, and sills have been replaced with new panels. No detail was overlooked.
Documented through photographs, the restoration process highlights the careful preparation of the metalwork prior to primer and paint application. The body is finished in iconic 1960s VW pastel tones, with a flawless finish extending even to the underside, which is painted to match the body. This level of detail showcases the uncompromising quality of the restoration.
Mechanically, the camper is as impressive as its bodywork. A reconditioned 1641cc Twin Port Engine ensures reliable performance and delivers that unmistakable VW soundtrack. The suspension and steering systems have been fully overhauled, ensuring smooth handling and a comfortable ride.
An uprated Buttys Bits throttle linkage enhances driving performance, while a Cat 6 tracker provides modern security. The bus sits on refurbished original steel wheels with polished hubcaps and brand-new whitewall tyres, giving it an authentic vintage look.
Step inside to discover a professionally designed interior inspired by the classic Westfalia aesthetic. Custom-built by a skilled joiner, the interior combines retro charm with modern functionality.
Upon entering through the cargo doors, you’re greeted by a cleverly designed unit featuring 2/ 3 rear-facing seating with a 1/ 3 high-top section. This unit doubles as a worktop and houses a modern 12v camping fridge—perfect for keeping refreshments chilled during sunny adventures.
The interior features thoughtful storage solutions, including a bespoke pull-out drawer with dedicated compartments for cutlery and loose items, showcasing the craftsman’s attention to detail. The full-width Rock 'n' Roll bed ensures two adults can sleep comfortably, a significant upgrade over the traditional ¾ width bed.
The spare wheel remains in its original position but can be replaced with a matching cushion plug to maximize space. The bus also includes full sound insulation, reducing noise and adding warmth for a cosy camping experience.
Original Westfalia-style yellow vinyl harmonises beautifully with the green-and-white exterior, while the custom chequered yellow, white, and grey curtains add a playful yet elegant touch.
