Description

This is a very genuine and original 1971 VW Campervan Left Hand Drive with original pop up roof

It also has the rare combination of still having original matching engine

Manufactured date was Feb 1971 in Germany and supplied from new to it new owner in VW Philadelphia USA, the Campervan was then sold to a new owner in California where it stayed until 2010 when it was imported to the UK.

Coming from California is the main reason this VW is rust free and solid everywhere.

From 2010 to present the Campervan has a fresh revamp and was painted in white with the interior all upgraded to red leather.

It has also had a full engine rebuild with the following items all replaced over the years to keep this VW in top condition

New heads
New rockers
New push rods
New piston barrels
New piston rings
New camshaft
New oil pump
New distributor, plugs & leads
New main bearing

There is a folder full of invoices over the years for the above showing how well this VW has been maintained with no expense spared

The Campervan although MOT exempt due to it being an historic vehicle sailed through its MOT last month with no advisories

£0 Road tax as its historic vehicle

I cannot stress how well this drives it cruises at 50mph on the country roads as good as any modern day car

The engine, suspension and steering is superb

It also has a recent dyno test confirming the engine still kicks out its original 50bhp

It’s also the easiest VW I have ever owned that changes gears so smoothly

You could drive to Australia and back in this fabulous example.

For a 54 year old vehicle that is very useable you will struggle to find a better one for the money as these are fetching £30k plus in mint condition and this is a good 7/ 8 out of 10

All tyres are good
