Hello,
I just joined this forum and in the process of buying a 1995 LT31 Westfalia Florida. it's located in Norway where I live for the moment. The sale is taking some time, due to the reg. owner living abroad. Should be the owner in 3 weeks. The car is in a good condition, but has the front fold able bench (half the bed) missing and the top bed has been converted into a storage. dont think its easy to replace, since I haven't found replacements. Apart from some Sven Hedin stuff on the German eBay that has the wrong colour (and pricey) nice forum btw regards, Petrus ps. how do I insert pictures? tried the "insert image" , but failed

Hi Petrus and welcome.
You may find a front seat if you post a request under the wanted section - I was very grateful to a member who had one for me a while ago. Converting the top bed back to a bed should be straightforward . I removed mine from my LT28 and have the rails and base - if you pm me I could send you some pictures . Picture posting instructions are posted under LT tech section. I have used the instructions and they worked for me. Good luck with you new van Simon |

Are you now the owner of this LT?
You are the 4th LT camper owner in Norway that i know of who is on a VW forum somewhere in the world. We are 3 Karmann LT owners on the http://vwbus.no/forum/ http://vwbus.no/forum/viewforum.php?f=23 and it would be nice to have one more, specially one with a Westfalia Florida. Also we meet every 2nd monday close to Drammen. I attend about 75% of the meetings.http://vwbus.no/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=23318 And if you want to attend our big annual meet it is http://vwbus.no/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=43725 23-25 of September, close to Rjukan. |

Hei Marius,
Very surprised to hear about a group of LT owners meeting here in Norway! A nice surprise! Still chasing the camper, the guy selling, is not the registered owner on the paperwork. His father is the official owner, but he is in Thailand, more or less retired. He needs his signature to convince Biltilsynet that the sale is legal. his father has no email or is pretty foreign to internet and all that. I am still very keen to buy and hope we come to a solution. You have any idea how he can sell it? regards Petrus

Unfortunately we are not a group of Lt owners. We are a group of VW Bus owners. It is just me that has a LT. But LTs are very very very welcome. My Lt is in storage close to Sarpsborg when we don't use it, so i attended the last treff with my Mitsubish Miev. Other cars where Hiace, Amaroc, Bay, T3 and T4. There is a great technical knowledge in the group.
I will get the LT home and use it to Rjukan. I think his son should go to Biltilsynet and ask what he should do. I think that a written confirmation from his father, (Could be sent thru normal mail) that his son is allowed to sell his car on his behalf is enough. However if the son has the pink version of the registration papers of the car. Just fake the signature. |

hei
Marius,
Finally the
camper is in my name! Biltilsynet accepted a copy of a signed
"fullmakt" (authorization), but not a copy of a signed vognkort of
the owner (who lives in Thailand)
Had a trip to
Germany already. went to Sweden and took the ferry from Trelleborg. Few small
problems. but I think I fixed those. Car needed a good polish, it has just the
normal rust spots at the seams which I hope to tackle soon.
previous owner
changed (destroyed) a few things unfortunately. The front seat he threw away
and the top bed as well. I managed to improvise a bit. I have given up taking
it back to the original state after searching the internet for replacement
seats and bed also the gas
tank under was missing. instead there is a small camping container in the
cupboard car is
generally in good condition, done 200.000km and has some service history.
very happy
with the purchase no insurance
yet. might come along to one of those meetings once I find an insurance
regards,
Petrus
ps. found another
LT camper in Oslo parked near Sørenga. Yellow
one in the picture. Quite a mess and has been towed there.

Congratulations. It looks OK.
I hope you could come to the Drammen meeting some time. Next time is next monday. http://vwbus.no/forum/viewtopic.php?f=14&t=23318 We need more LT people in there. We are usually in the corner of the parking, behind Shell. If the weather is bad we are inside Marche. "Unfortunately" i drove Dennis, our Karmann LT to its winter storage inn Sarpsborg on Friday, so you want bee able to inspect it. On the way there we talked about the fact that we haven't had any technical problems wile on the road. Then one water hose blew, yes blew. I was able to put three fingers in the hole, but we managed to make some temporary fix, and drive it the rest of the way, to Sarpsborg. |
