1973 VW Type 2 Bay Westfalia Campmobile 1700cc Camper Van

We are reluctantly selling “Lefty” our much-loved left hand drive T2 Westy Camper that has been in our family since 2013. The centre piece of many happy family adventures including a tour of Europe, she is in great condition.

Starting life in California in L20B Brilliant Orange, she was imported to the UK in Aug 2008, and including ourselves has had four owners since new, two of which have been in the UK. Always garage since we have owned her.

We have a comprehensive folder full of documentation, original owner’s manual, service details, records and receipts of all works completed since 2008 and prior, including the original service records from 1970’s & 80’s.

The 1700cc single carb Type 4 engine was removed, sent away for reconditioning and reinstalled in Aug 2023 by Nene Valley Classics, who have looked after her servicing for the last few years and she has done less than 500 miles since the reconditioned engine was reinstalled.

The front seats are the original upholstery, the rear ¾ rock and roll bed and stool seat have been reupholstered in Tangerine and Dune coloured vinyl with Tangerine piping detail. This was completed in 2020. Bespoke orange detail curtains have been installed, along with a replacement vinyl flooring. The Westfalia Pop Top canvas was replaced in 2008

Westfalia Campmobile 70 3.06857 plaque still in place in the van. This a walk-through model with a single sliding door and the Westfalia tilt pop up roof. The interior is in great condition, retaining its original Westfalia Campmobile furnishings, including built in storage cupboards and the original child’s hammock that goes over the front seats. The cabin remains untouched, preserving the original dashboard features and dials. A new Radio has been fitted. There is also a hammock bed in the roof (currently removed as not needed recently). We have fitted a 3-point inertia rear seat belt in the rear so a child seat can be fitted (if required). A leisure battery has also been fitted

This is an amazing camper and will be much missed, but the time has come to let others have the fun and enjoyment.
