Very difficult to find a nice camper this year in this condition, it is a very solid example of a VW Westfalia camper

Although not perfect, it is very presentable and a joy to drive.

It has a newer more powerful engine, that was rebuilt a few years ago, and now has about 25,000 miles on it.  I have receipts for about 5,000 in mechanical work that go with the camper.  The engine runs strong and starts up every time.  The manual transmission shifts as it should.

The outside body of the camper is in very good shape, not a show vehicle, but it is in very good condition.  The undercarriage is solid.

The interior has been redone with new material very recently.  There are new hard wood floating floors installed.  The interior is in very good shape. 

The camper comes with the factory sink and ice box, then a buddy seat with a heater underneath(the heater is not connected).  The camper also runs off of a gas heater with separate exhaust.  The top folds up and there is a bed that extends out.  There is also a bed that can be used over the front driver and passenger seat.  When the bench seat in the back folds out, you can sleep up to two people.  There is a ripe in the canvass when the top is up.  There are no leaks inside the camper.  The windshield will have to be replaced as there is a crack. 

Aside from the engine being rebuilt, the front has new calipers, rotors, and brake pads.  The power booster is acting up, and may have to be replaced, but it stops fine.

There is an awning, not shown, that goes with the camper.

 

The camper is located in Surrey, British Columbia.  Arrangements can be made to have it taken to Bellingham, WA, at an additional cost of 200.00, or the unit can be picked up in BC. 

 

Please bid only if you are serious about purchasing the camper.  Once you have committed to the puchase, this is not an opportunity to check out the camper afterwards, after the auction ends. Ask all questions prior to auction close. 

 

thank you

Production Volkswagen Taigun crossover caught in patent filing?

Wed, 01 May 2013

Volkswagen brought an angular, bulldog-like small crossover concept called Taigun to the São Paulo motor show last year, claiming that it wanted to gauge interest in the design before making a decision about production. If a new report with alleged leaked patent images is to be believed, then, interest must have been pretty high.
China's Auto.Sohu.com has published this group of Taigun images, claiming that they have been sourced from the Chinese patent office and that the subcompact VW utility based on the Up! has been cleared for production.
If all of that is true, and if these images are representative of the final product, you'll see that designers haven't done much to alter the concept car's appearance. Comparing, shot for shot, with the images we have from Brazil, we see that even small details like roof rack-mounted lights and exhaust tips integrated in the rear fascia have been carried over. Take a closer look for yourself in the attached galleries.

VW beams in Star Trek stars to promote e-Golf EV

Tue, Oct 7 2014

Volkswagen just set its e-mobility commercial phasers on stunning. The German automaker has cast Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock of Star Trek fame (i.e., actors William Shatner and Leonard Nimoy) in a new advertisement for its growing stable of electric vehicles. Even though it's in German, we think you can get the idea. VW went Hollywood and cast the two veteran actors in a futuristic-themed 45-second ad, which sees Shatner cruise up in the e-Golf (with a toothy Trek-fan kid in tow) while Nimoy rocks the XL1 and the Trek theme blares in the background. Forget for a moment that the kid in the commercial wasn't even born when Shatner started pitching for Priceline, let alone the original Trek series and just enjoy the wholesome good humor of Shatner saying that the electric powertrain is just like the one in a spaceship. If you've got any familiarity with Spock, you should be able to understand his punch line, too. Of course, if you'd rather your German vehicle advertisements were set in the Star Wars universe, we recommend clicking here. VW will bring the e-Golf to the states in November at a price of $35,445, about $6,500 higher than the Nissan Leaf's starting pricetag. You can see the new ad and a number of related behind-the-scenes videos (in English) below. Our Quick Spin of the E-up! are available here. This content is hosted by a third party.

Car and Driver 10Best list cracked by Tesla Model S, BMW 3 Series left off

Fri, Nov 21 2014

Car and Driver is keeping new blood pumping into its annual 10Best cars list with three new entries making it on for 2015 and a perennial favorite falling off. Among the biggest shocks this year is that the BMW 3 Series and 4 Series are no longer named, despite years of some portion of that lineup earning a mention. In another surprise, the Tesla Model S (specifically in S 60 trim to fit under the $80,000 cost cap) makes it to the 2015 roster and is the only electrically motivated member of the group. Despite the loss of the 3 Series, BMW isn't entirely shut out this year, because the M235i gets its name on the list. Car and Driver argues that the little coupe feels like a welcome throwback to the E46 chassis M3 of the early 2000s. In addition to the Model S, the final newbie to the annual group is the 2015 Ford Mustang GT. The inclusion of these new members knocks the Audi A6/A7 family and Ford Fiesta ST out from the 2014 rundown. The other seven models carry over from last year, including the Cadillac CTS, Chevrolet Corvette Stingray, Honda Accord, Mazda3, Mazda6, Porsche Boxster/Cayman and Volkswagen Golf/GTI. The 2015 10Best cars list certainly seems to have something for everyone from the hot hatch fan to the family man and even the green car driver, thanks to the addition of the Tesla. Head over to Car and Driver to read its detailed explanations for each vehicle's inclusion, but if you've got a difference of opinion or just really like the list, let us know in Comments.
