For Sale
A rare opportunity has arisen to buy this 1968 unmolested Westfalian / Safare conversion.
Due to a new business venture i have very reluctantly decided to sell my 68 hightop which has twice featured in Camper & Commercial and Dave Eccles book The Inside Story.
Built in Jan 1968 as a walkthrough Kombi under the tourist Export Scheme this bus ended up spending most of its life in the dry climate around Los Angles California.
I bought this bus from a good friend Rich Ducharme and drove it from Vancover to LA importing it myself. Anyone who uses Early Bay will probably have noticed the quality of Vehicles that enthusiast Rich enjoy's working on and owning.
BIG RED arrived in the UK in spring 2012 and has been used for Family summer trips and dry stored during the winter.
What makes Big Red toatally unique is the Westfalia camping interior and the Safare roof, converted by Safare Campers of Paramont of California.
Still in its original paint this van has never been welded or lowered :lol: and drives like when it left the factory. The primer down the door was discovered by Rich while T cutting the original Montana Red it was a slight repair years ago probably due to the wind catching the door. Absolute no rust or rot anywhere. Both Rich and i decided to leave it rather than add any new paint. All the small scuffs and dings add to the history and charm to this cool patina bus.
I could write pages about this one off van but i will let the photo's tell the story.
Thanks for looking !
