Presenting a truly charming classic - a late-production Volkswagen T2 Bay Window featuring the sought-after fuel-injected Type 4 engine and originally factory built as a Westfalia Champagne edition. This is your opportunity to experience a distinctive camper that stands apart in all the right ways.
This Volkswagen Type 2 was produced in March 1978 as a late Bay Window model built for the USA market and shipped to San Francisco. Although its interior has been updated from the Champagne Edition, and it has previously undergone a full body respray, its M-codes reveal a well-equipped specification, including Westfalia camping features.
Focusing on the interior camping equipment, the Westfalia furnishings have been updated with modern replacements, adding practical amenities such as a PMS 3H power management system, Webasto petrol heater, 2-way fridge/freezer, twin gas hobs, a sink with a cold water tap, LED interior lighting, and 3-pin 240v plug sockets. Ample storage is provided throughout the cupboards, keeping belongings secure during travel.
All seats, including the rear 3/4 rock-and-roll bed, door cards, and kick panel, have been reupholstered in matching two-tone vinyl, and all four seats are fitted with seatbelts. Up top, the Westfalia pop-top features a mattress and a canopy with three window openings.
For the eagle-eyed viewers, you’ll notice the dashboard, steering wheel, and rear-view mirror plastics are finished in brown rather than the traditional black. These are original features from the Champagne Edition, a special variant offered only for a few months in early 1978. The cabin remains largely original, with a few additions including an EMPI gear lever and a Sony radio/CD/MP3 player paired with twin speakers in the kick panel.
Power is supplied by a newly fitted leisure battery, which can be charged via 240V mains hook-up or through split charging while the engine is running. Gas is provided by the original LPG tank.
Beneath the body lies a solid chassis, with subtle age-related marks around the body, all of which have been reflected in the competitive price. Please refer to the detailed image gallery and walkaround video for a clear representation of its condition.
This camper stands out as a fantastic opportunity to own a well-equipped late-bay Volkswagen Type 2 with updated practicality and unmistakable classic charm, making it perfectly suited for both leisurely adventures and everyday enjoyment.
