1978 Volkswagen Bus/Vanagon Description

1978 VW Westfalia Champagne edition (LOCATED IN DENVER COLROADO)
Berlin Deluxe Campmobile.
To celebrate this super rare top of the range 'Late Bay' Westy Campervan my wife and I decided to upgrade the awful (poo) brown colour with a 2016 Porsche 911 Paint colour called Anthracite brown (Paint code 991).
When you're a classic VW bus and have enjoyed 40 years travelling happy families around the globe what better than to have a modern take on the Champagne theme!
We feel the metallic color compliments the VW for the modern day.
in my mind Split window buses look cool but are horrid too drive. These late bay window Westfalias are in a league of their own.
I owned a 1977 Wesfalia in London and drove it for 10 years around France, Spain, Belgium, Ireland, Scotland, Wales and England.
Once you own one of these you will love them!

The Camper just had over $3000 worth of work carried out by a awesome local VW air-cooled Garage that I use in Arvada, Denver Colorado.
They Fitted a brand new Exhaust, brand new front disc and pads for breaks, rear shock work, New 009 Distributer, full engine service and tune up, new igniton switch, new door seals, new rear luggage door seal, and much much more. Full detailed receipt included.
Clean title in my name and the bus comes with a large brown leather folder with VW maunals and new and old receips.
The Camper was taken back to bare metal and now looks great in the new Porsche metallic brown color. It looks neat in the sunshine.
There are a couple of areas in the paint that need a little TLC. Some over spray needs to be wet sanded. This is something I did not feel comfortable doing. The camper is super solid underneath. The front floor is super clean. Only area I can find that could be addressed in the future is the two battery trays.
The rear factory westfalia table operates but was hand painted by a previous owner.
One key fits all locks and ignition.Front curtain is missing.
Let me know if you wish to test drive and view and I have lots more photos and a video that I can send.
