Wanted: Westfalia pop-top ready to go!!!

[stefan]

Hi all,
my name is Stefan and I am new to this forum. I am looking for a T2 Westfalia to do some trips starting next spring through Europe with my small familie (we are three, my daughter is almost 5 years old). The bus must be a LHD with pop-top and should be ready to go and no project. If it is in need of a little TLC (i.e. damaged interior, welding of batterie boxes or in need of a respray etc.), no problem! I really would prefer a late modell T2 Berlin with disk brakes and 2.0L engine. However I don´t want to narrow down my search too much. Maybe I could fall in love with an earlier bus, so please let me know what you have to offer! We live in Germany and I like the idea of traveling to England to pick up our future „Westy“! One last request. If you have anything to offer please contact me directly. I am not in favour of endless personal discussions i.e. „how much do you want to spend“ within a forum, simply because I feel their are private issues that only should be discussed between buyer and seller. My oppinion! I am looking forward to your offers!!!
Thanks and regards,
Stefan
P.S. since this forum only deals with buses from 68-72 could sombody tell me if there is another forum covering the later T2 models?

Hi Stefan,

I think you really want an Early Bay if you have a good taste (just my opinion ) :mrgreen:
But you can also try this Dutch forum, called VCT2 = Vrienden Club van T2 which means Friends Club of Bay Windows:

I also have planned to go on vacation in Germany next year, at least visit Wolfsburg and Berlin.
Good look with your search!

Tschüs, Eric

This looks like a nice one, a pop-top can be fitted later on may be:

Hi Eric,
thanks for your reply!!! You can only develop a better taste if you know the subject! However I am fairly new to the bus world and havn´t really developed my own taste yet! Till my daughter arrived I was more into VW beatles and Triumph TR4s. For camping purposes those are unfortunately useless. :roll:
I will take a look at your suggested pages.
Thanks again,
Stefan

Hi Stefan, welcome to the Early Bay site, if you are really after a 2.0 litre and maybe a slightly later model, there is also the Late Bay . Com which are also a nice bunch of lads and lasses. Might be worth a little look on their for sale section.

Hi Ozziedog, hi Eric,
thanks for the welcome and your suggestions of several sites. Fact is I am still not sure if I should go for an earlier bus or a later one. The earlier ones definately look better to me but the later ones might be the better drivers i.e. more horses, better brakes etc.!? I guess I will wait and see what I will find or will be offered. If the right bus shows up I will know in a heartbeat that this is the one for me!
Thanks again,
Stefan
