1973 Volkswagen Westfalia Camper

The VW Westfalia, also known as the Volkswagen Type 2 (T2), is a popular camper van that was produced by Volkswagen from 1950 to 1991. It is considered an icon of the hippie and surfer culture of the 1960s and 1970s and continues to be loved by outdoor enthusiasts and adventurers today. The Westfalia was designed as a practical and versatile camper van that could comfortably accommodate a small family or group of friends. It featured a spacious interior with a fold-out bed, a small kitchenette with a stove and sink, and ample storage space for camping gear and other essentials. Some models even included a pop-up roof, which provided additional headroom and sleeping space. One of the key design features of the Westfalia was its rear-mounted air-cooled engine, which allowed for a lower center of gravity and better weight distribution. This made the van easier to handle and gave it a distinct characteristic sound that is often associated with classic Volkswagen vehicles. The Westfalia was also known for its durable construction and reliability. The body of the van was made from sturdy steel, and many owners reported driving their Westfalia vans for hundreds of thousands of miles without major issues. This example that we have on offer presents very well with its bright yellow and white coloured combination on the exterior which continues into the interior as well. Being a Westfalia, it has many storage cupboards, comes with a basin, as well as a centre table with seating on either side, and a roof that extends to allow for extra space with the foldable sleeper. With 48311km indicated on the clock, this beauty still has a long and exciting life ahead, full of new adventures with its new owner.
