1978 VW T2b Westfalia 'Champagne Edition II' – Highly Original Pan-American Survivor (2.0L Fuel Injection) Introduction Offered for sale is a truly unique, highly authentic piece of Volkswagen history: an original 1978 Volkswagen T2b Westfalia "Champagne Edition II" (M-917 Deluxe spec for the North American market). Draped in its factory two-tone color scheme of Pastel White (L90D) and Agate Brown/Champagne Metallic (L86Z), this bus represents the pinnacle of late-seventies T2 luxury. Currently registered in the Netherlands (License plate: 8-ZRR-99). The Story & Unrivaled Provenance This bus is a proven adventurer. Originally sold in Canada, it later embarked on the ultimate road trip, driving the legendary Pan-American Highway all the way from Canada down to Argentina, before being shipped to Europe from Uruguay. Unlike many imports, this bus comes with a breathtaking history file and an extensive visual travel archive: The Original Canadian Logbook: Included is the hand-written maintenance diary from its time in North America, detailing meticulous care dating back decades—including fuel injection tuning, compression tests, and timely service intervals. Recent Dutch Maintenance: Since arriving in Europe, it has been maintained regardless of cost by classic specialists (invoices from Garage 't Noorden present). Recent work includes brake system overhauls, starter motor servicing, and regular fluid changes. Condition, Exterior & Interior Exterior & Bodywork: The bodywork is exceptionally honest, straight, and structurally sound. The long side panels are remarkably crisp with an excellent deep gloss finish and no waves or signs of thick filler. The classic front nose features the iconic front-mounted spare wheel with a clean white cover. A sturdy tow bar (trekhaak) is fitted at the rear, making it fully ready to pull a vintage trailer or tent trailer. Professional Rust Remedy (Restoration Documented): Crucially, the infamous T2 weak spots around the front windshield and rear window frames have been thoroughly and professionally addressed. Rather than covering up issues, the metal was stripped down to the bone. The original chassis ID plate remains fully intact and untouched. The windows have been reinstalled with fresh, high-quality rubbers. Interior: The cabin is a beautiful time capsule. The dashboard is clean and completely crack-free. It features the factory-original Deluxe brown-and-green plaid seats and the matching rear mattress pads, which seamlessly fold into a full-width double bed. It features the desirable 'Berlin-style' layout, factory-delivered without a built-in stove (ideal for modern outdoor cooking and trouble-free European registration). The original Westfalia woodwork and cabinetry are beautifully preserved. Honest Disclosures To ensure complete transparency for international buyers: during its travels through South America, the bus suffered minor cosmetic body damage to the rear right quarter panel while in Colombia. This was repaired locally on the road. The bus completed its journey without any structural issues, and the body remains straight and functional. The cabinet laminate shows minor, typical age-related wear but is completely original. Summary & Specs This is not a patched-up or freshly painted bus hiding secrets; it is an honest, solid, and incredibly charismatic 2.0L Type 4 injection 'Survivor' with a story that money cannot buy. Ready for its next chapter. Year: 1978Engine: 2.0L Fuel Injection (Type 4)Features: Tow bar, original Westfalia interior, pop-top roof, extensive history file.Location: Groningen, The Netherlands
