    I got to wondering what was in the bus when it was first delivered new. Was the book in some kind of cover ? We're there any other documents it would have come with etc ? If you know, could you perhaps post a piccie so that I know what I am looking for when rummaging about at the shows. Thanks.

    Bus is a 1977 Westfalia that went to California.

    Service pack with owners operating manual - service book dealer spiel, radio book if radio ordered and all in plastic case.

    Other than that Jack and spare wheel.
     
  3. Not me, I'm younger than my bus!

  4. seriously some you fellas laid out for a "just out the wrapping " camper ? that would imo be mental (in a great way)
     
  5. Not really. My bus certainly is not just 'out of the wrapping' and I hope it never is or I will be too scared to take it anywhere, but I am working (myself) to get it back to where it might have been had it just been well looked after over the years.

  6. I am also younger than my bus ................just , there was a website that I could never find again ( once I lost it) which had lots on interior pictures of the different set ups. I know ours still has a couple of orginal micro bus features ( and I say that in the manner or a couple of black bits and that's just about that) I think I googled vw campervan devon conversion .........................
     
  7. There would have also have been a booklet with the list of distributors and dealers across europe (or the US if it was sold new there) and a possibly some dealer diagnosis coupons.

    A version of this. It's a sleeve that went over the sun visor to help you in your first few hundred miles. Think by the style of the steering wheel shown, this ones from a beetle but everything else is the same
     
  9. Oh.... And apart from it reckons the fuel gauge will work. (Reference another post)
     
  10. something like this lot...
