VOLKSWAGEN 1970 EARLY BAY WINDOW WESTFALIA CALIFORNIA CAMPERVAN
|
California import now RHD and, of course, tax and MOT exempt.
A unique opportunity to own an early bay window VW camper with the desirable and iconic Westfalia conversion in very original condition. The camper has been sympathetically restored yet modified to include modern comforts and improve drivability (steering wheel now on the right hand side). Looks great, beautifully restored four years ago in its original factory colour, pearl white. |
Campervan Spec Includes:
- 1600 single port air cooled engine. Starts first time and runs well
- All new fuel hoses and brake hoses fitted
- Four new tyres fitted plus one full-sized spare wheel also with brand new tyre
- Professional conversion to RHD using original bay window parts
- Desirable Westfalia interior with rock and roll bed, side wardrobe, buddy seat and (rare) original matching stool
Modifications to Camper for improved useability and comfort include:
- 240 hook-up converted to UK spec
- Leisure battery and Durite voltage-sensitive split charge relay
- Five rear interior lights wired in with remote control- a must for camping
- Interior lights, stereo, 12 volt auxiliary supply all run from leisure battery
- Sony stereo and a pair of Fly speakers mounted under the dash (not cut into door cards!)
VW Camper Bodywork
The van's body has been restored and painted in it's original colour, pearl white, with minimal welding required- one battery tray and a small section at the front end. All panels used were best quality, professionally fitted. The cab doors, the sliding door, tailgate and engine lid are all original and not repaired.
The camper has been treated to extensive rustproofing to the underside and all cavities using the best anti corrosion waxes.
The original wheels and bumpers have been shot blasted and painted white. The pop top roof was also repainted and treated to a new old stock canvas. Every worn-out seal and broken lens cover has been newly replaced with top quality replacement parts.

Original VW Early Westy Interior
We decided that we wanted to keep as much of the original westfalia interior as possible, so the front door cards, cab seats and camping interior have been left untouched, besides a really good clean! Incredible when you think it’s nearly 50 years old. The interior long side panel, sliding door card and rear tailgate card was recovered with a matching beige leatherette fabric and the roof has been lined with perforated white vinyl. We replaced the worn out floor with a new piece of durable high grade vinyl in dark grey and added a new beige and white gingham curtain set.
The cooking/sink/fridge unit was taken out to add an extra, unoriginal seat but we still have the original unit and it will be included in the sale if desired. The van came with many extras including mosquito nets, overhead and front cab hammocks and the original Westfalia awning which is immaculate for its age and can also be included in the sale.
A beautiful early bay in stunning original condition that turns heads wherever we go. A lot of money, hard work and passion has gone into this van, but sadly for us the time has come to move on to something new and let someone else take up the story
