The seller offers for sale this 1978 Volkswagen T2 Westfalia camper, powered by a 1.6-litre four-cylinder petrol engine paired with a manual gearbox. This original three-door, five-seat Westfalia retains its period-correct camper equipment as listed on the original invoice, including kitchen unit, stove, sink, fridge and storage cabinets. The paintwork is described as well preserved with only minor marks on the bumper bars, while the interior presents in original specification with classic 1970s charm. The engine starts without hesitation, runs without smoke and produces no unusual noises. The gearbox shifts smoothly and quietly. According to the seller, the bus has not suffered accident damage or rust and benefits from regular servicing and a new battery. It is currently stored at a mechanic’s workshop in Bremen, where it can be inspected by appointment. The vehicle requires renewed technical inspection, due to lack of recent use.
This T2 Westfalia represents one of the most iconic camper vans ever produced by Volkswagen. Known for its friendly design, reliable mechanics and compact living space, the T2 became a favourite among travellers seeking adventure with simple comforts. The model offers a distinctive driving experience with its air-cooled engine, upright seating and relaxed cruising character. The Westfalia conversions are especially sought after due to their practical interiors, pop-up roofs and versatile layout, making them ideal for holiday trips, camping or classic car events. Today, well-preserved T2 Westfalias continue to attract enthusiasts who value originality, nostalgia and the freedom these classic campers represent.
