Hi Everyone. If you are looking to acquire an absolutely immaculate and fully upgraded late model Westfalia, this is it. As you know, 1991 was the last year of the Type 3 Westy. I am the 2nd owner of this alpine white Westy which over a 3 year period has undergone a complete restoration/upgrade process. You will be challenged to find a nicer or more capable Westy. Off grid for a week and moderate off road travel is routine with her. Importantly, there are only ~93k originals miles on the van, with ~2000 miles on a newly overhauled and completely rebuilt Subaru 2.5L along with new suspension and wheels. The van has always been garaged, has no rust, completely repainted, and all appliances/features are functional. The upgrades are tasteful and not only increase usability but also safety. I am pricing this very reasonably as my family has too many other activities that we aren't using her as much as we should. Please feel free to ask any questions
