Manufacturer description
The VW camper van has been a worldwide favourite since the 1960s when the originals were seen as the ideal home from home for travellers and lovers of the great outdoors. This model fast forwards to the early 1980s, when a bit more style and creature comforts had been added. Enhanced and updated general facilities included stove, refrigerator and sink, along with increased height provided by the Joker high top roof. Examples built between 1980 and 1985 are easily recognisable by the round headlights. Air-cooled engines were phased out in mid 1983 in favour of the more efficient water-cooled systems.
Our version, registered A727 DMO, features the Joker high-top roof of the 'Westy' T25 camper van with authentic 'Joker' logo and silvered coachlines along the sides. It also carries the Westfalia ID across the back of the roof and other refined details are picked out in black. Ownership of this model will spark a lot of happy memories for camping holidaymakers of the era - a pastime which prevails today in probably the same vehicles that have stood the test of time.
