The sunny weather gets all the camper van enthusiasts dusting and polishing before taking their home on wheels out on the open road. Our T25 Westfalia, registered RUK 737Y from 1982, makes a welcome return in blue and white with its trademark Joker high top roof, just in time for the UK summer. Its round headlights represent the format on vehicles produced between 1980 and 1985. Air-cooled engines were thankfully phased out in mid-1983 in favour of the more efficient water-cooled systems. It used to be freezing cold before that, even with the controls turned up full!
Our 1:76 scale replica 'Westy' camper features the Joker logo and silvered coachlines along the sides and also carries the Westfalia lettering across the back of the roof with other printed detail highlighted in black. The interior is brown. In real life, this roomy vehicle enabled families to have reasonably priced holidays when you could literally pack everything in, including the kitchen sink. The T25 incorporated a bit more style and comfort than its original 1960s counterpart. We loved ours to bits!

Oxford Diecast VW T25 Camper Medium Blue/White – 1:76 Scale
Manufacturer part number: 76T25009. The model represents the British Rail sectorisation period and is a replica of a Westfalia T25 camper van, registration RUK 737Y, built in 1982. The vehicle is finished in medium blue with white roof panels and features the distinctive Joker high‑top roof, round headlights typical of models produced between 1980 and 1985, and a brown interior.
The 1:76 scale model includes silvered coachlines along the sides, the Joker logo, and Westfalia lettering across the rear of the roof, with additional printed details in black. It reflects the transition from air‑cooled to water‑cooled engines that occurred in mid‑1983, as noted in the historical context of the original vehicle.
All components are rendered in die‑cast metal, providing a detailed representation suitable for collectors interested in British automotive history.
