Description
This is the last of the Westfalia T3 vans and the highest spec model. If you know what you are looking at great, if not search ‘westfalia t3 info’ there is a great website dedicated to the Westfalia T3 Camper.

If you’re after a camper that is ready to go now, then this is the one. The van has just flown through its MOT (one advisory on the windscreen chip) and has a ticket until 31/ 03/ 2026. I have owned this van for nearly a year; the previous owner had it for 13 years and it has been maintained to a very high standard, with no expense spared, using the best parts available mostly via Brickwerks.
He drove to Le Mans every year and had lots of Euro and Scottish trips, with the van regularly getting 40mpg on a long trip. The flags stitched onto the bed guard list the history of the van’s travels.
The interior is in amazing condition with many useful upgrades. Everything works as it should and it’s ready to go camping in. Below is a history of the van, works done, upgrades and things than can be improved upon. I’ve probably forgotten a few bits but feel free to contact me with and questions or to arrange a viewing, cheers Keith . I’m just outside of Eye, Suffolk IP23.

• On the ramp I noticed –
o One of the Eberspacher ducts needs replacing & Radius rod bushes are worn. (replacements for both included)
o Nearside radius rod has been replaced, looks like it had a knock underneath at some point in its past
