Service is top quality and communication has been fab ....keen prices to

Little update cleaned and some little repairs to the laminate eadging , pleased with the result

 

Nice to see your keeping it original and not replacing it with modern expensive modern generic stuff . I had to add the Malaga crumpet toaster to my continental

 

Hi Yep I'm a firm believer if you already have a decent interior in place keep it as og as you can, Although do understand if ppl have a shot interior and renew and update it. Horses for courses and all that but me I'm an OG type of fella to a degree

 

Bit more today on the interior cupboards etc swing out table leg seat bed bottom etc quite plsd with the new autumn gold fabric from NLAVW a touch more yellow then og but I guess will fade in time

 

You’ve clearly never camped in a Continental. Good luck! (Excellent beds btw, about as good as it gets!)

 

Lovely van btw!

 

They are ok. We camped in one for 10 years... but, you are stuck with the indestructible interior. Our sink unit lived in my cellar until I sold the van - the furniture is good quality but Westfalia seemed to forget people might attempt to move around inside, not just sit there like an advertisement photo.

I tend to buy vans with either no interior or one fit for the bonfire ever since so I can do what I like with a clear conscience. However, since they are so tiny inside you're pretty well stuffed in one way or another however you lay it out.

 

ive camped in a split westy mate nothing is tighter then that lol
