1971 VW ‘Early Bay’ Camper van – Full bare metal restoration with 2276cc engine

Kyham drive away awning and internal bedroom included in sale.

Will be sold with 1 years Mot

96,000 genuine miles on clock

Original VW service book inc dealer stamps up to 30k miles in 1973

It was originally a Westfalia model with full sunroof.

The van doesn’t want for anything and literally every electrical and mechanical component is brand new and has been replaced, in Jan ’22 it was valued for insurance purposes at £40k by an approved 3rd party. Lots and lots of receipts and photos of vehicle during the restoration eg bare metal, new panels etc.

This van has been an absolute labour of love and is only being sold now due to an overseas move.
