Detailed Information
Vehicle Description

Meet Boris, our beloved 1990 water-cooled Westfalia California campervan (left-hand drive), built on the Volkswagen Transporter T24 Vanagon. He’s in excellent condition inside and out, with a comprehensive history file dating back to his original purchase. Regularly serviced, MOT’d, and lovingly maintained—his next MOT is due 30th June 2025.
Exterior & Mechanical Upgrades:
🔧 2016: Full external restoration, including rust removal, bumper rebuild, and a VW Paprika Red respray.

🔧 2019: Diesel-to-petrol 2.0 GTI engine conversion at 279,592 miles (current mileage 295,967). This upgrade means more power, smoother cruising speeds, lower noise, reduced pollution, and a respectable 25-35 mpg.

🔧 Over the years, we’ve replaced and upgraded countless parts, including:

✅ New tyres

✅ New battery

✅ Boot struts

✅ Sliding door mechanism

✅ Handbrake cables

✅ Wheel arch repair & welding

✅ Interim service (Feb 2024)

✅ And the cherry on top—a new set of original hubcaps! 🍒

Interior & Features:
🛏️ Factory-fitted interior, in great condition, comfortably sleeps 4 (though we’ve squeezed in our third child across the front seats before!).
📦 Loads of storage space and practical home comforts:
🧊 Original fridge runs on hook-up, 12V leisure battery, or gas (new ignition unit installed).
🔥 Two-burner hob powered by a refillable LPG gas tank underneath—perfect for campsite cooking!
🚰 Sink with a large water tank (tap currently needs an electrician’s touch to get working again).
🎵 Radio/CD player with USB input (front speakers need a simple rewire).

The Reality:

Like any well-loved classic, Boris has a few dents, scratches, and some rust spots (see photos), but for his age, he’s in fantastic condition. He’s given us years of adventures and joy, but with a growing family, it’s time to let someone else create their own memories with him.

💙 If you’re looking for a solid, character-filled camper ready for more adventures, Boris is waiting for you!
