The Westfalia Company was founded in 1844 by Johann Knobel and
originally concentrated on the manufacture of agricultural tools
and whilst part of that became involved with building of horse
drawn carriages. The factory was virtually wiped out by bombing
during the Second World War but they recovered sufficiently to
exhibit a caravan at the 1947 Hanover Fair. That might have been
the end of the story had the VW Transporter not come into existence
in 1950 with their large space and easy mechanics. They were an
instant hit with the general public and at weekends. owners started
using these transporters to go away in. adding extra seats. beds
and camping stoves an. in so doing. not having to rely on hotels.
The breakthrough came in 1951 when an American army officer asked
Westfalia to convert a motor caravan which quickly resulted in an
order for fifty more. In 1952. they started producing the first VW
Transporter Camping Boxes; these vehicles had a cabinet installed
behind the front seat which contained washing and cooking equipment
with fold down worktops and the rear seat converted into a sleeping
platform. In 1972/73 production started on a series of conversions
that established Westfalia as the leading converter of VW
Transporters. Westfalia continue to produce fine examples of
motorcaravans to this day in what has become a very competitive
market.

This 1979 registered Camper was imported into the UK in May 1981
and has recently been the subject of a major restoration project.
The bodywork has benefitted from extensive work as has the interior
trim; the elevating roof is also new. Mechanically. she has just
had a new engine fitted and we are advised by the vendor that this
is a very reliable and comfortable Volkswagen. Supplied with a V5
registration document and a years' MoT test certificate. this
lefthand drive. four berth Camper is ready to be used and
enjoyed immediately. what better way to enjoy the rest of the
summer.
