A charming and original Volkswagen T3 Westfalia Camper with an air-cooled 2.0-litre engine, a beautiful interior and a solid technical foundation. This camper was built for travelling and is ready for its next owner.
This 1983 Volkswagen T3 Westfalia was originally delivered new in the Netherlands and had been owned by its previous owner since 2008. The camper was always used recreationally and stored indoors during the winter. This is reflected in the overall condition of both the mechanical components and the interior.
Air-cooled 2.0-litre engine
At the rear is the original 2.0-litre air-cooled Volkswagen engine producing 70 hp.
The engine was rebuilt in 2018 at a mileage of 62,000 km. The odometer now reads 91,000 km, meaning that relatively few kilometres have been driven since the rebuild.
The Volkswagen has also been serviced annually. Mechanically, this is therefore a camper that is ready to hit the road.
The air-cooled boxer engine is, of course, a perfect match for the character of this classic T3. No modern technology taking away from the character of the van, but an authentic Volkswagen engine doing its job in the traditional way.
Good bodywork, rust-free chassis
The bodywork is in good condition, although there are a few small areas of surface rust here and there. These are visible and should therefore be considered cosmetic points of attention.
The left rear corner was repainted at some point in the past. The colour is slightly different from the rest of the bodywork.
On the other hand, the chassis and underside are particularly impressive: both are rust-free.
This makes the T3 an excellent foundation for someone who would like to address the cosmetic imperfections over time. For anyone who mainly uses the camper outside the winter months and continues to maintain it properly, this Westfalia can provide many more years of enjoyment.
And for an enthusiast who would like to have the cosmetic imperfections professionally repaired, there is a great opportunity to further enhance both the appearance and future value of this Westfalia.
An interior to make you smile
While the exterior could use some attention here and there, the interior makes a very strong impression.
The original Westfalia interior is still almost completely intact and is in near-perfect condition. Everything looks neat, clean and well cared for.
The camper has four full-size sleeping berths and is fully equipped for holidays and road trips.
Equipment includes:
- 4 full-size sleeping berths
- Refrigerator
- Gas stove
- Running water
- Swivel seat
- Table
- Curtains
- Modern retro Blaupunkt radio with phone connectivity
- Stool
- Plenty of practical storage space
- Tow bar
The combination of the original interior and practical Westfalia layout makes this T3 a particularly atmospheric and enjoyable camper.
A camper that has been used as intended
This Volkswagen T3 Westfalia has always been used recreationally. It was never a work van or daily transport vehicle, but a camper that was genuinely used for holidays and leisure.
The van was also stored indoors during the winter. This is an important detail when it comes to a classic camper and has undoubtedly contributed to the excellent condition of the chassis, underside and interior.
The result is an honest and original Westfalia with a solid technical foundation and only a few cosmetic points of attention.
Attractively priced
This T3 Westfalia is deliberately priced attractively due to the cosmetic points of attention on the bodywork.
For anyone looking for a mechanically sound camper and who does not mind a few areas of surface rust, this is an interesting opportunity.
You can take it on holiday straight away and address the cosmetic points gradually if desired. Those who choose to have the imperfections professionally repaired will also be investing in the appearance and future value of the camper.
Especially if you avoid using this Volkswagen T3 during the winter months and continue to maintain it properly, it can provide many more years of enjoyment.
Ready for holidays and road trips
