The seller offers for sale this 1964 Volkswagen T1 Westfalia SO42, powered by a 1.6-litre air-cooled four-cylinder petrol engine, paired with a manual transmission. This is a genuine Westfalia camper conversion in the sought-after SO42 configuration, presented by the seller in good condition throughout, with the bodywork, interior and mechanicals all reported to be well kept. The bus holds a valid inspection and is described by the seller as being in fine order in every respect, ready to be enjoyed as one of the most iconic and beloved classic vehicles ever built.
The T1, produced from 1950 to 1967 and instantly recognisable by its charming split windscreen and large VW roundel, is the original Volkswagen Transporter and one of the most celebrated vehicle designs of the twentieth century. The factory-sanctioned camper conversions built by Westfalia in Rheda-Wiedenbrück transformed the humble Transporter into a self-contained home on wheels, and the SO42 layout is among the most desirable of these, with its cleverly packaged cabinetry, fold-out bed and thoughtful touring equipment. These campers captured the spirit of freedom and adventure like nothing else on the road, and they remain enduring symbols of an entire era.
Split-window Westfalia campers have become blue-chip collector vehicles in recent years, with genuine, well-preserved examples increasingly difficult to find. The combination of the T1’s iconic silhouette, the documented Westfalia conversion and the model’s immense worldwide following makes this bus as strong a statement at a classic car gathering as it is a practical companion for touring and camping trips. With its robust air-cooled mechanicals, outstanding parts availability and one of the most passionate club scenes in the classic vehicle world, this T1 Westfalia SO42 represents a wonderful opportunity for the collector and adventurer alike.
