1978 T2 Baywindow VW Kombi Camper Van
After 30 years of ownership it is time for my treasured Kombi Camper to embark on it's next chapter. I'm selling it. This van is in immaculate condition and I have recently done a lot of work to get it in tip top shape for sale. It has been lovingly cared for over the years and spent its time garaged so in great shape. It has received a new paint job from head to toe in the original orange - Cost $8,500. I also spent $7,500 on the engine and brakes so it is perfect.
4 Speed, petrol, 1600
I will list all its details below. Cheers
Full Camper -
- 2 burner gas cooker
- Stainless sink with underbody tank and electric pump.
- Original 1978 pop up roof - no tears, great condition.

- Fold down double rocker bed inside. Foam replaced with Elephant foam and covered in mustard suede with cream piping.
- 2 single canvas bunks in pop up
- Generous canvas bunk in front over front seats
- Original 1978 Awning! This addition is very cool as not many have survived and is in great shape. I used it all the time when camping.
*Theoretically you could sleep 2 adults & 4 kids - I wouldn't try teenagers, they can go in the awning :)
- Original front seats
- Original 1978 roof rack - very rare.

- Like I said it has a full repaint in Feb so is in mint condition.
- Underbody is tar sprayed so no rust underneath
- I also did a great mod and lots more on engine completed in Nov 2024 totally $7,500 which includes:
- twin weber carb kit which has given it a great sound and lots more power
- New clutch, machined fly wheel
- The entire brake system is brand new - that means every single thing to do with brakes is brand new
- New battery
- full service, plugs, points, oil, everything - see attached worksheet
Have also attatched a link to a you tube clip I have posted so you can get a good feel for the van. I had to flip the video so looks left hand drive in vid but is NZ right hand drive :)
I am looking for around $60,000. I have already had offers of 50,000, 51,800, and 53,000 so please if you are interested you need to be around the 60,000. Always willing to negotiate but this is a rare sell and I'm not giving it away. The van is currently stored in Whangamata. Only serious enquiries please. I travelled to Whanga this long weekend for an interested buyer but he lowballed me and it was a frustrating wasted trip.
These vans don't come up for sale very often - as you have read I have owned mine for 30yrs.

I failed trying to upload the photos of it and the interior which look great - email me and I will send them to you :)
Thank you, Scott

Poll: Should we be giving the green light to new mining projects? 💰🌲
The Environmental Protection Authority announced this week that a proposed mine in Central Otago (near Cromwell) is about to enter its fast-track assessment process. A final decision could come within six months, and if it’s approved, construction might start as early as mid-2026.
We want to know: Should mining projects like this move ahead?
