The seller offers for sale this 1970 Volkswagen T2a Westfalia Camper, powered by a 1.6-liter 4-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual transmission. This charming early T2a combines classic Volkswagen bus character with the added appeal of Westfalia conversion heritage. Built by Westfalia-Werke in Germany, it was first registered in California on 28 February 1970, making it an authentic American import. In 2019, a new engine was fitted and professionally rebuilt by De Garaasj in Antwerp, a specialist in air-cooled Volkswagens, with invoices available. The vehicle also comes with original VW wheels with chrome hub caps and a vintage metal roof rack, adding to its period-correct appeal.
The Volkswagen T2a Westfalia Camper is one of the most recognisable classic camper vans, loved for its friendly design, practical layout and strong connection to travel culture. The early T2a generation kept much of the charm of the original Volkswagen bus while offering a more modern driving feel and improved usability. Westfalia conversions are especially desirable because of their camper-focused design and long-standing reputation for clever use of space. With its air-cooled engine, upright seating position and unmistakable styling, the T2a offers a relaxed classic driving experience. Today, these campers remain popular among collectors, families and enthusiasts looking for a usable vintage vehicle with a strong sense of adventure.
