The South East’s most pampered van is for sale.
It is with a heavy heart that we have decided to sell our beloved ‘Babs’. She is a 1989 VW LT 28 Westfalia Florida, imported from Germany, LH Drive. We have owned her for 20 years and have had some fantastic adventures – first as a couple and then as a family of 4 with a border collie. Including travelling for a year through Southern Europe in 2006 and then driving to the Estonia / Russian border and back through Scandinavia in 2018 a journey of nearly 18,000km.
She is a terrific van, 2.4 Turbo Diesel engine is rock solid and has never failed us. 5 speed gear box, rear wheel drive and power steering.
MoT – expires May 2025. Taxed for the next 6 months. Folder with service history. Mileage 268,000km
Full respray including treatment of all rust in May 2018. Has been housed in her own purpose built garage for the last 6 years (since the respray). Body work is exceptional for a van of this age.
We have kept the interior as original as possible. With a few upgrades.
Four berth: Double ‘rock and roll’ bed downstairs and big double (156 cm x 197 cm) pull out bed at top (very comfy and comes with a memory foam topper).
Dinette with twin rock and roll bench seats, in original fabric (in great condition). New seat foam in the seat and back of both benches. The front bench flips and runs on rails to face either way.
New Mini Heki skylights throughout. The skylights have built in black out blinds and fly nets.
Loads of storage, including a hanging wardrobe, numerous cupboards and lockers of different shapes and sizes.
100lts fresh water tank and 10lts hot and 70lt waste tank.
Bathroom with wet room. New bathroom tap / shower, sink and toilet in 2018. Porta potty designed to fit into the recess and has the original leather straps to stow it neatly out of the way.
New kitchen tap in 2016. Original hot water heater, fully working.
Original Electrolux fridge (LPG, 12v & 240v – the latter of which it does not function on currently)
Underslung LPG tank with EU & UK adapter
The internal lights have been updated for LEDs. Which sap much less battery power.
Rear control panel showing read-outs or fresh water tank levels and leisure battery level – all working.
Windout Fiamma F45S awning with sides. Fitted above the sliding door.
Large white ‘Thule’ roof box, fits perfectly on the roof rack and provides even more storage for those long trips.
Solar panels fitted: 120watt semi-flex marine cell, 12/24v MPPT controller with display, 6mm top spec cable for minimum voltage drop. We don’t ever really have to plug in to power!
600W DC/AS Power Inverter.
Pioneer Stereo with DAB ariel
Safe
Bab’s is just under 5m long so you can fit in a normal car parking space and also fit down those small winding roads off the beaten track.
Bad Bits
Eberspacher Diesel heater has always been a bit grumpy. We got it working again a few years ago, but it needs a service.
Damage to the front offside corner.
Back seatbelts need replacing
