This T2 Westfalia has been in Clive’s ownership for 33 years! 🍊

Clive racks up the miles each year in his T2, visiting motorsport events up and down the country and overseas. Having been under his long-term ownership for 33 years, the time has come to tick off some major jobs to keep this Westfalia in good health.

Over the past couple of years, we’ve carried out a full roof restoration, replaced the front axle beam, wheel bearings, brake discs and calipers.

On his most recent visit, Clive returned with a newly installed 2110cc engine and gearbox, to which we carried out its 500-mile running in service. With the newly installed Stage 1 clutch making the pedal heavy to operate, we installed a clutch pulley kit to reduce pedal effort, making it lighter than standard.

We also fitted a set of dashboard-mounted gauges to monitor voltage, oil pressure and temperature, alongside a brake servo upgrade.

This T2 has come a long way in recent years, and we’d like to thank Clive for continuing to entrust us with these upgrades. 🙏

For Sale 😎

Talk about making the world greener, 👀 let’s take a moment to appreciate this magnificent colour. 💚Metallic Java Green - not to be confused with the historic Volkswagen Java Green. This is a modern colour used by Audi and BMW as an “exclusive” or “individual” paintwork option, adding to the sense of individuality and exclusivity that this nut and bolt restored T2 embodies.

to the sale of this beauty. 🫶 These are the ones we love the most, the ones that tell stories.

When it comes to finding these vehicles new owners through our consignment service, we put great effort into marketing them in the way they deserve and telling their stories.

Whilst we’d love for these vehicles to remain with their owners forever, the time eventually comes for their stories to continue elsewhere.

This Split Screen was a one-family-owned vehicle from new, beginning its life in San Francisco, USA, before making its way here to the UK. We’ve since had the pleasure of finding it a new keeper in France, who is keen to preserve it and continue its story.

If you’re looking to sell with us, please do get in touch. We’re actively looking for quality new stock.

Great to see our long-term customer Nigel Vardy FRGS return. 🗻 A mountaineer, public speaker, president of Buxton Mountain Rescue and proud owner of his T2 Westfalia for 20 years. 🙌 Another fantastic example we’ve had the pleasure of working on over the years.

This time around, alongside the annual service, we stripped and cleaned the rear brakes, installed a new alternator and auxiliary belt and fitted a new rear number plate light unit. We also stripped the speedometer to diagnose a fault, with replacement parts now on order.

Thanks again Nigel 🤝 Keep up the good work. We recommend giving him a follow.

Martyn’s recently purchased 65 Beetle visited us for what was originally intended to be a service and an asses a slipping clutch. However, the work turned out to be more involved than anticipated, eventually evolving into a sympathetic recommission. ✨

With the engine and gearbox removed, we took the opportunity to work through the mechanicals and tick off a number of jobs to bring the Beetle up to the standard it deserves.

The work included fitting new gearbox mounts, clutch and accelerator cables, and a new fuel tank after discovering a leak around the location of a previous repair. With the new tank fitted, it also presented the perfect opportunity to replace the fuel lines with 100% ethanol-resistant alternatives.

The pedals were seized, so they were removed, stripped down, painted, regreased and reassembled.

Alongside this, we addressed various details that needed a little extra attention, refining and correcting anything that lacked the finesse it deserved, before completing a thorough service.

Thank you Martyn 🤝
