AI-assisted summary
Description from the seller
TO NOTE:
• Rare final 1992 unit of the Volkswagen Caravelle GL (T3) Camper with Westfalia equipment
• Original Westfalia pop-up roof incorporated
• Low recorded mileage of only 132,000 original kilometers
• Equipped with a 2.0-liter gasoline engine and up-to-date documentation with valid ITV
HISTORY & GENERAL DESCRIPTION:
The Volkswagen Transporter T3 (marketed as Caravelle in its more fully equipped passenger variants) was produced between 1979 and 1992, marking the end of an era as the last generation of the iconic Volkswagen van with rear engine and rear-wheel drive. The GL version represented the top trim level of the range, with a higher level of insulation, finishes, and comfort. Combined with official conversions and Westfalia accessories, the T3 became one of the most iconic and sought-after recreational and camper vehicles on the European market. This example corresponds to the year 1992, one of the last production years of the model, and stands out for preserving its originality and recording only 132,000 km.
EXTERIOR:
The bodywork is preserved in an original condition with signs of use, patina, and natural wear appropriate to its age and use, with no reports of recent complete restorations. It features the original Westfalia pop-up roof, whose mechanism requires a small intervention or adjustment to ensure proper deployment and easy closing.
INTERIOR:
The cabin features a camperized configuration and Westfalia equipment, maintaining an original atmosphere for classic travel and overnight stays. It shows normal signs of use consistent with its age and mileage.
MECHANICS:
Under the rear deck is the 2.0-liter gasoline engine, which starts and runs in generally fair condition, and the vehicle is driveable. However, the seller states with complete transparency that, sporadically, the engine builds pressure in the cooling circuit, so a preventive head-gasket service is recommended for optimal long-term operation (estimated workshop cost around €1,200).
DOCUMENTS:
The vehicle has its papers in order and ready for transfer, with the Technical Inspection (ITV) fully valid.
The vehicle can be viewed and collected at the location indicated by the seller. It is recommended to inspect the vehicle before bidding to avoid disappointments. To arrange a viewing, please contact Catawiki. Offers do not include transport or export, unless otherwise specified. Transport, ownership transfer, and any costs associated with export procedures or a Chamber of Commerce (COC) may apply to the buyer.

Catawiki always aims to offer you the best possible buying experience. Our experts virtually review and select every vehicle in line with our submission guidelines and we require our sellers to provide the most accurate description of the vehicle. However, providing a fully detailed analysis of the vehicle is extremely difficult, and close to impossible. To guide you, we ask our sellers to provide information about the vehicle’s condition. Please consider that most vehicles for sale are classic vehicles and they often already have a whole life behind them, meaning that even a condition 1 or 2 vehicle might need maintenance to be ready for the road.

Cars are sold “as is”, meaning as described and in the condition they are in at the time of the sale and without any representation, warranty or assumption of liability of any kind as to the condition by Catawiki or by the seller. The condition of this item is the opinion of the seller and may differ from yours, your local garage, or the dealer’s opinion. This does not automatically mean the car does not conform to its description. Before bidding, please check your local legislation regarding vehicle registration.
