1973 VW westfalia camper

 

This camper is in great condition.  We bought it in Vancouver and have driven it across the USA the last 3 months.  The van has given us no problems at all.  The engine is GREAT condition.  No problems with reliability.  It is oil cooled.

 

The inside:

Its a pop top (no bed up top, its just for standing room and packing space).

Fold down bed, sleeps 2 very comfortably

All original 1973 interior (except for fridge)

sink and water work perfectly

Fridge has been replaced with a Coleman Powerchill

3 x 12 volt plugs

radio and CD (pioneer)

great speakers and amplifier

odometer and mileage is in miles (even though this a Canadian VW)

 

The outside:

minor scratch on sliding door

minor dent on rear left tire guard

some rust on hubcaps

chasis in very good condition

 

 

Extras (camping)

 

spare gas tank

tent (2 man)

coleman cot mattress

tarpaulin, poles, rope (good for awning)

cutlery, cups, plates (coleman camping)

gas cooker (grill and stove)

single vintage coleman 502 gas cooker

deck chairs (vintage `sunbeam)

 

THE BAD

The gas tank apparently is leaky if filled full. This was told to us by the previous owner, he advised we only fill to half each time.  We have done this and have had no problems

The break pads will most likely need replacing soon.  

 

THE GOOD

This is a perfect van for anyone wanting to do a summer roadtrip.  Its fully equipped, good to go.  Its been well looked after and is 100% reliable.

 

Shipping:  The car can be shipped from either Canada or the USA (current location Boston - but we are flexible with our current roadtrip, it could be driven into canada without a hassle)

 

Registration: van is registered in BC, Canada

World Car Of The Year down to its final four

Wed, 13 Mar 2013


Judges for the World Car of the Year Award have narrowed down the finalists to just four vehicles. Out of a total of 42 entries, only the Mercedes-Benz A-Class, Porsche Boxster/Cayman, Scion FR-S/Subaru BRZ/Toyota GT-86 and Volkswagen Golf remain standing. For Volkswagen, this marks the second consecutive year the company has had an entry among the finalists, and the fourth time since 2009. In order to qualify, a vehicle must be on sale on two continents during the span of time between January 1, 2013 and May 30, 2013. A panel of 66 journalists from 23 countries then vote on the finalists.
Three vehicles have made the cut for the last round of voting on the 2013 World Performance Car as well, with the Cayman/Boxster and FR-S/BRZ/GT-86 running against the Ferrari F12 Berlinetta. Meanwhile, the Renault Zoe, Tesla Model S and Volvo V60 Plug-In Hybrid are duking it out for the World Green Car Award. Finally, the World Car Design of the Year Award is up for grabs between the Aston Martin Vanquish, Jaguar F-Type, and the Mazda6. Check out the full press release below. Overall winners will be presented at the 2013 New York Auto Show.

Former Porsche CEO Wiedeking indicted over VW takeover bid

Thu, 20 Dec 2012

Do you recall the failed efforts by Porsche to take over Volkswagen? According to a Bloomberg report, former Porsche CEO Wendelin Wiedeking (above) and ex-CFO Holger Haerter have finally been charged with market manipulation over the exercising of options as part of the German sportscar manufacturer's ill-fated attempt to take over the much larger VW. That failed bid eventually resulted in the reverse coming true - VW swallowing Porsche.
The charges leveled by Stuttgart prosecutors come after a three-year investigation centered around allegations that Porsche execs made a concerted effort to increase the company's share in VW to 75 percent in preparation for a hostile takeover. Porsche had previously told its investors on at least five occasions that it had no intention to buy VW.
Portions of the investigation have subsided, according to prosecutors, citing an inability to prove certain improprieties with a "necessary degree of certainty." The number of charges is down to 5 from a previous 14 counts regarding "information-based market manipulation."

Lamborghini could be sold or spun off from the Volkswagen Group

Sat, Oct 12 2019

Volkswagen is reportedly considering a sale or stock listing for its high-end Lamborghini brand. The German automaker is looking to fold the Italian supercar brand into a separate legal entity, reports Bloomberg, which cites "people familiar with the matter" who don't want to be identified "because the deliberations are confidential and no decisions have been made." Any of this sound familiar? The goal of spinning off Lamborghini would be to stockpile more cash and other resources for VW's massive planned push into electric vehicles. Back in March, reports circulated that Volkswagen's "Vision 2030" corporate plan might include plans to focus on the brand's core brands — VW, Audi and Porsche. That means the futures of fringe players like Lamborghini, Bentley, Bugatti, motorcycle brand Ducati and design firm Italdesign (and note this isn't a comprehensive list of brand's under the expansive VW Group umbrella) are up in the air. VW, according to the report, is targeting a market value of $220 billion, which is a big jump from the brand's current $89 billion valuation. Bloomberg pegged Lamborghini's valuation at around $11 billion back in August, buoyed by sales and profits generated by the introduction of the Urus sport utility vehicle. On the flip side, Lamborghini is currently grappling with how best to update its supercar lineup in the face of ever-increasing emissions regulations.
