Thanks for the links - a previous bus I owned had been lowered but only to a sensible height, tyres and wheels were original and there were no issues with rubbing etc. No interest in going super low - as mentioned in my 1st post.

Quick question, I am thinking about lowering my bus - nothing too drastic but around the height of this bus in this ad: https://earlybay.com/threads/sold-1970-lhd-westy-lots-of-extras.80843/ What can i expect to lose in terms of height in cms. Are there any references to this ride height if I...

Price dropped to £2000

The last 2 shows just felt a little flat in my opinion, I usually take the kids along and its an enjoyable day out for them, but compared to pre-covid shows I'm just not feeling the same buzz and excitement despite what is being shouted across the PA...

I think I have a NOS fuel gauge for the instrument panel if the offer offer doesn't work out...

GSF - interesting I didn't know that they supplied bus parts such as rubbers. Unfortunately seems they have no stock, so guessing they are discontinued.

Does anyone have any experience with the cheaper cab door seals. Feel like I've spent more on rubbers for my bus than just about anything else - seems there are non-German quality available for around 30 quid a pair. I'm ok if that means I have to replace them soon, as long as they do the job...

SOLD

Thanks all - yeah seems the roof rack on the later bays is a lot smaller meaning the hinged part increased on the later models.

Does anyone know the difference between an early and late bay Westfalia canvas. Of course I am aware that the late bays are rear hinged, but are the dimension also different? Just realised that the canvas I picked up a few years ago has 74-79 on the box, I can't be sure that the box is original...

Back up for sale and reduced. The plan was to paint the bus and keep it but with a recent addition to the family and the ULEZ expansion into the North and South Circular Roads I need to buy a family daily runner car. Please PM for price details or if you want more details on the history of the...

I had similar rear quarter damage to my bus when I rolled back down a car park ramp and hit a pillar (also in Spain). Just make sure the bed above the engine hasn't folded slightly as mine did. I didn't realise until 20 years after the incident that mine had suffered in this way.

Bumping this price reduced to £14,995

This is a UK spec RHD walk-through 1970 Early Bay with a Devon Eurovette Conversion. The body is super straight with original paint –offering plenty of genuine patina. No shiny new paint is hiding any horror repairs and no filler is to be found. The interior is also original with a pull-out...
