1978 T2 Baywindow VW Kombi Camper Van

This van is in immaculate condition and I have recently done a lot of work to get it in tip top shape for sale. It has been lovingly cared for over the years and spent its time garaged so in great shape. It has received a new paint job from head to toe in the original orange - Cost $8,500. I also spent $7,500 on the engine and brakes so it is perfect.

4 Speed, petrol, 1600

I will list all its details below. Cheers

Full Camper -

- 2 burner gas cooker
- Stainless sink with underbody tank and electric pump.
- Original 1978 pop up roof - no tears, great condition.
- Wired and certified for plug in camping - 4 sockets inside and comes with new cable.
- Fold down double rocker bed inside. Foam replaced with Elephant foam and covered in mustard suede with cream piping.
- 2 single canvas bunks in pop up
- Generous canvas bunk in front over front seats
- Original 1978 Awning! This addition is very cool as not many have survived and is in great shape. I used it all the time when camping.

*Theoretically you could sleep 2 adults & 4 kids - I wouldn't try teenagers, they can go in the awning :)

- Original front seats
- Original 1978 roof rack - very rare.
- Front Bra stoneguard
- CD Player with Aux input, 2 Sony and 4 Pioneer speakers - Great Sound!
- Aluminium sliding door side step - can see in photos
- Table inside sitting on chrome leg, made from Australian Gum

- Van also comes with a full cover in heavy duty material with zips for all entries purchased from Aus - $800 worth of van cover

- Like I said it has a full repaint in Feb so is in mint condition.
- Underbody is tar sprayed so no rust underneath
- I also did a great mod and lots more on engine completed in Nov 2024 totally $7,500 which includes:

- twin weber carb kit which has given it a great sound and lots more power
- New clutch, machined fly wheel
- The entire brake system is brand new - that means every single thing to do with brakes is brand new
- New battery
- full service, plugs, points, oil, everything - see attached worksheet

Have also attatched a link to a you tube clip I have posted so you can get a good feel for the van. I had to flip the video so looks left hand drive in vid but is NZ right hand drive :)

I am looking for around $60,000. I have already had offers of 50,000, 51,800, and 53,000 so please if you are interested you need to be around the 60,000. Always willing to negotiate but this is a rare sell and I'm not giving it away. The van is currently stored in Whangamata. Only serious enquiries please. I travelled to Whanga this long weekend for an interested buyer but he lowballed me and it was a frustrating wasted trip.

These vans don't come up for sale very often - as you have read I have owned mine for 30yrs.

youtube.com...

I failed trying to upload the photos of it and the interior which look great - email me and I will send them to you :)

Thank you, Scott

NZTA have shared a wind warning for Auckland Harbour Bridge for today.

What you need to know:
- Between 4pm today and 8pm today, there is the potential for wind gusts on the Auckland Harbour Bridge to reach 90 – 100 km/h. While these are expected to be brief, they could trigger a red alert.
- Under a red alert, NZTA may close all lanes on the bridge as it is unsafe for any vehicle to be on the bridge and the bridge structure is vulnerable to vehicle impacts.
- From 8pm to midnight tonight an amber alert will remain in place with forecast wind gusts of 75-85 km/h. Under an amber alert, speed limits may be reduced and some lanes on the bridge may close.
- Drivers of high sided vehicles and motorcyclists are advised to avoid the Auckland Harbour Bridge and use the western ring route on State Highways 16 and 18.

NZTA say 'We don’t take the decision to lower speeds, close lanes or close the bridge lightly. Our priority is the safety of road users and the bridge structure.'

For up-to-date information about any restrictions on the bridge, please look out for the electronic message boards which indicate lane closures and reduced speeds and you can find more info here:
