Early Bay wanted

[Dan]

A friend is looking for an early bay. They have a pretty healthy budget but also are pretty sure on what they want:

RHD (I know, I know!)
As rot free as possible
Must have a pop top - preferably a Westy or a Devon
Either: Good interior, or no interior
'71 or earlier (no crossovers)
Not a converted panel van

The budget is upto about £8k, maybe a little more, for all the above or less if stuff needed - mechanical overhalls not a problem.

So, what have you got?? I know there are some lovely LHD's out there, but it HAS to be RHD!

bugger - mines LHD http://forum.earlybay.com/viewtopic.php?t=3609 - are you sure you cant talk em round - LHD is no problem at all

although mine is a tin top, we've camped in it several times no problem (me, my wife and my 14 yo son) as we've used a drive away awning to live in

Nope, sorry, it HAS to be RHD and a pop top I'm afraid...

I saw these on ebay,early bay RHD 1968's not mine though so I can't vouch for them.Look good though.I think the Dormobile has an excellent interior with a lovely roof too.I would say that though because I've got one :wink:

If you're friend changes his mind on the year he wants, I have a November 1972 Westfalia for sale. RHD, original Westfalia Continental interior with pop top.

Thanks Dave,

I've looked at yours - it looks very nice indeed, but he really is fixed on an early RHD. Good luck with the sale.

No problem, I understand where he's coming from. That's why I'm selling mine :wink: .
