1971 Tin Top Westfalia “Weekender” Camper – Left hand drive.
California import registered in the UK 2007. Service history from US dating from 1990 and full UK service history. Complete with original Operating instructions for Campmobile 70 and Owner’s Manual plus California plates.
This bus was complete and original when imported apart from having received a “blow over” paint job and believed to be fitted with a recon 1600 twin port engine. Being a dry state bus the chassis and body were in rust free condition.
