For sale, reluctantly, due to lack of opportunity for use...

August 1990 1.6td VW Westfalia California
Imported (by me, and her indoors, in person) from Germany in April 2006, one owner from new in Germany . Now on UK “H” plate
LHD, 5 speed gearbox; power steering
Very economical - never had less than 32mpg, (even up the Norwegian hills!), and normally returns 36-38 mpg

Outside
Pastel White (no California Decals; from new, I suspect)
Bodywork very good condition - clean shiny original paintwork, no dings or creases anywhere. Very minor seam rust in one or two places (see pic for by far the worst offender), chassis excellent
Pop top - good condition all round, inside and out
Factory fitted sunroof over driver’s cab
Paulchen 2/3 bike rack

Inside
4 berth California grey interior; largely in really good, clean condition - 3 way fridge, two hob burner, sink with electric tap (not original tap - had a faulty microswitch so just stuck on a cheap, but very functional, one for time being)
Separate leisure battery - new in May 07
Driver and passenger swivel seats
2 lap belts to rear bench seat
Buddy Seat/storage box - dead useful!
Fresh and wastewater tanks
Eberspacher diesel heater
CD player with aux input (one of the four speakers not currently working)
Jail bars to rear window

Mechanical
373,000 kms on clock. Now on second VW engine from 180,000km
New cylinder head May 07
Comprehensive service history (VAG to 359,000 kms); have receipts from Germany for all work beyond 180K and for all the work I’ve had done since - £3000 spent since import
Loads of work on brakes (front rebuilt, all new brake pipes, rear drums overhauled) May 2006
New power steering pipes Sept 06
New battery Apr 08
Ancillary oil cooler
Always been really reliable - never not got us where we wanted to be!
MOT - passed 07th May 2008 (without any work and without even an advisory!) - expires 23rd May 09
Tax September 08

Other bits
Loads of camping gear - storage tent, windbreak, crockery, cutlery etc. etc. - could be included if the van goes for right price

The following manuals are included:
German owner’s manual and camper manual
US Vanagon owner’s manual and camper manual
Just Kampers T3 turbo diesel workshop manual
Haynes manual (for petrol vehicles - they don’t do a diesel one as far as I’m aware…)

Bad bits
One of driver’s seat armrests came off and needs replacing - I’ve had my eye out for one on ebay - no luck yet!
Eberspacher exhaust has a split in it - doesn’t affect use of heater - ditto re ebay
Tear to rear of drivers seat cause by sink/cooker top being lifted - not got any worse since I’ve had it
Tiny bit of seam rust

Price
Offers around £7500
