regretably for sale is the below bus
wife and kids do not want me to sell it but also wants the house doing so something has to give
1971 Westfalia American import Early bay – LHD

Completely bare metal respray in 2 pack paint with all tired metal being cut out and new welded in (continuous seam and not tack welded)
1679cc engine with twin ICT 34 carbs c/w new fuel lines and filters etc – if I end up keeping the camper I will upgrade this and gearbox for easier motorway cruising
Handmade bespoke stainless exhaust
Firetec extinguisher within engine compartment
55A or 75A alternator conversion, cant remember off hand
new large battery – would start a lorry
New adjustable suspension front and rear - spax shocks
Servo assisted brakes

New interior by Deluxe VW – brown cigar grained vinyl and hand finished carpets

paris webasto sunroof
moto lita steering wheel
Upgraded headlamps – h4 lamps

Full width rock and roll bed
Walnut buddy seat with storage
Hidden mains elec hook up connection
Kyham attachable drive away awning
spare wheel compartment under separate rear padding
Seat belts fitted to rear – for kids car seats, 1no inertia and 1no lap
All bolts replaced with stainless
Lots of paint left over so touch up’s are fine
Tax is free
Lots of spares
Lots of original US documents
Lots of receipts
Lots of photos showing evidence of restoration
will be sold with 1 years MOT
Basically everything is new with no expense was spared, I stopped counting when it cost me over £25k well before it was finished. Its a stunning bus that always gets people talking to me wherever I stop which I hate, grumpy bastard that I am.
Thinking about it after writing the description above I wouldn’t want to take any less than £20k but am realistic in what someone is willing to pay.
The only thing that needs doing (apart from the maybe upgrading the engine) is a chip in the paint my little girl kindly added and replacing the £10 windscreen washer motor, I would get this done as a matter of course anyway.
Been all over Europe so proven it is reliable.
PM if of interest
