Looking for a T4 California or Westie for my daughter

[CALI FATE]

If anyone knows of a straight T4 cali or Westie for sale please let me know. She has a limited budget, but the family are very keen to get into the camper way of life - many thanks

Morning @CALI FATE. The T4 California and Westy are one and the same. Westfalia built the California conversion for VW before they took the name for themselves and built it 'in-house'.

The range is huge, with varying specs so there should be something out there to suit your daughters budget.

Feel free to ask any questions though as there's a decent amount of knowledge on the forum.

Happy hunting.

The budget can't be limited if you are looking for a Westfalia! You'll struggle to find a bargain these days. A bog standard T4 with a well made interior would be better.

Prices can range from £8k for an early 90s example all the way to £22k for a perfect runout 2003 model. The big thing to bare in mind is would your daughter be happy driving a LHD vehicle. The Westfalia California was only available in LHD. If you find any RHD it's not genuine.

As @ArcticMatt suggests. A well made conversion may be a better option. Or if the budget fits there were some conversions by Bilbos. I think good examples of these are even rarer than the Westy.

Mines up for grabs. Mechanically perfect. Not quite A1 but then it's 21 years old.

I'd head off anywhere tomorrow and know it's wouldn't miss a beat.

What's your budget?

Have you considered looking in Germany as there will be much more choice and possible better price?
