• Iconic Volkswagen T2 Westfalia camper – symbol of freedom and travel
• 1,970 cc four-cylinder engine with 5-speed manual gearbox

The Volkswagen T2 Westfalia is without doubt one of the most iconic campers ever built. Since its introduction, the T2 has become the ultimate symbol of freedom, adventure and travel without limits. Its combination of practicality, unmistakable design and unmatched charm makes every Westfalia highly sought-after among enthusiasts and collectors worldwide.
This 1978 example perfectly embodies that unique spirit. Finished in a fresh Lime color and equipped with the characteristic Westfalia interior, this vehicle radiates authenticity and character. Whether for weekend getaways, long European road trips or simply enjoying the outdoors, this Volkswagen offers an experience that modern campers simply cannot replicate.
At the rear sits the 1,970 cc four-cylinder engine, paired with a 5-speed manual gearbox. This setup delivers a relaxed and characterful driving experience, fully in line with the original philosophy of the T2: enjoying the journey rather than the speed.
This example presents in an older original condition, with signs of use that contribute to its authentic appearance. For collectors seeking a true Westfalia with character, history and strong visual presence, this camper represents a particularly appealing opportunity.
