Hi,
Just brought myself a T4 Westfalia Freestyle. First van and am so excited about getting out for weekends in it. Complete newbie so might need some guidance/tips/advice.

Wow, I was told VW owners were a friendly bunch and they are not wrong ☺

sidepod, the spec is a 2003 2.5 TDi (102) 147000 miles. Only 2 previous owners and in very good condition. I was actually taken aback by how well it's been looked after and obviously loved. I fully intend to cherish it.

Previous owner called it Victor so we think it's only right to keep its name.

Probably one of the best purchases you'll ever make. Fun times ahead for you. Nice colour by the way.

Why can't a Cali have curtains?

So much softer, warmer and friendlier ....
