1961 VW Westfalia SO34 RHD
Where do we start, one of the rarest Westfalias in existence. The best combination of small window hatch and round tail lights. Originally ordered and built on 30th March 1961 and left the factory on 29th April 1961 to its first owner Edward Donovan in Zimbabwe. It was then bought by David Reid-Henry a well known wildlife artist who painted the bus in a sand/yellow colour and painted his pictures using the bus as a studio and travelled Africa. The reason he painted the bus was so he would blend into the sandy landscape while he painted the rare birds and wildlife.
The bus was then sold in 1983 after David’s death and repainted in 1985 back to its original colours of Sealing Wax Red L53 and Beige Grey L472. Ed Denovan then found the bus in South Africa in the 2000s and bought it back to the UK and did a full restoration. It was then bought by Scott an active SSVC member who used the bus all over the country. I then purchased it in 2022, as an avid collector of Westfalia for over 40 years I was always looking for a RHD SO34. All the original furniture is intact and in lovely condition. Never been restored or altered. Original mat in the rear with spare wheel and table bracket for use outdoors. Enders small and large stove in fold down storage cupboard. Child cot and straps above closet unit. Original sisal mat. Original toilet under the bench seat. Along with complete RHD Westfalia Red stripe tent (as rare as they come).
