Lot details

Registration No: A896 TPO
Chassis No: WV2ZZZ25ZEH052925
MOT: May 2025

  • The first T25 P-27 off the Westfalia production line for 1984. Build plaque '00001'
  • Very original specification T25 Westfalia camper van
  • Demonstrator – Westfalia, Germany and owned until 2025
  • Westfalia build no. 00001 for 1984

Westfalia had been building their VW-approved Type 25/Type 3 (T3) camper conversions since 1979 and the T1 and T2 versions before that. Registered in the UK on 1st July 2005, this imported example has the petrol 1900cc 83hp water-cooled ‘wasser-boxer’ engine. Upon examination of the Westfalia build plaque, this is a P-27 left-hand drive export model that appears to be the very first 1984 (‘E’ code) model year P-27 off the production line, reading as build number ‘00001’ on the Westfalia plaque. A significant 1984 Westfalia indeed.

Evident from the physical appearance, the camper was built to North American specification—more likely Canada—and would have begun its journey at VW’s Hannover plant before the VW-approved Westfalia-Werke conversion. Believed to have been recruited from the production line as a Westfalia-Werke factory demonstrator and owned and mainatained by Westfalia for a number of years until coming to these shores in 2005, a detailed restoration that sought to keep the vehicle as original as possible, was carried out by the previous keeper in 2018. The Westfalia interior furniture and trim are still present, and mechanically the engine has benefitted from some overhaul work and was last serviced in 2024. To be used or form part of a collection, there’s some history on file for this very original specification ‘Westy’, both from its time in Germany and the UK, along with the original handbooks and a current V5C.
