Westfalia awning??

Post by AIR_CHILLED »

ImageImage

Hi, I've just been given one of these by a work colleague who had a t3 van years ago, is this a period correct awning for our van's?

Are they any good or worth anything ££ collectible maybe?

I'm personally after a ARB one but this may come in handy if I keep it.
Thanks,
Mike.

That looks exciting what's it like when it's up. We would say with the current market for our vans and it being an original westfalia it would be worth a bit of bob as it seems anything westfalia related has a lot of value but we would be interested to see how much it was worth

Interesting, do you have any pictures of it up?

How much did u pay for it if you don't mind me asking? (Pm price if you like)

Might be worth selling it on so I can put some money towards the ARB one.

In the meantime I will set it up in the back garden this weekend if it doesn't rain!

Thanks.
