 Posted: Tue Aug 27, 2013 10:15 am Post subject: Westfalia Funeral Trailer |
 |
|
I found this Westfalia Funeral trailer in one backyard standing with some junk around him!It was on sale, but those leaf paterns on side windows were strange to me!  so i asked what is it for, and they told me that it was a funeral trailer! I dont know much about trailers but i saw it was a old one and in a good shape! One guy wanted to make it for transportation of vegetables to market!!! I gave the owner more money than a vegetable guy and bought it! ... i dont know much about these trailers so any help and sadvice about it would be aprishiated!
These are first pictures on the site...more are coming when i get it home!
Hope you like it!

| It's the perfect length for camping. Good for deep sleep. |

The condition doesn't seem too grave. Have you plotted out a restoration plan for it? I know a lotta guys would kill to own that!

I just got it two days ago, i have in mind to sell it as it is because i dont know anything about restoration , and to leave that part to a guy who knows more!
This is a collector piece and i hope that who ever buy it would know how to restore it!
Or to try it on my own and do something stupid and destroy it!

Well there are several problems...first im from Serbia and most of people here on Samba are from US. Second, i can use eBay but PayPal wont let us from Serbia getting payed only to make payment...so i guess this is a lost thing...
And maybe you know how much i could ask for it? I would aprishiate your sudgeston and advices about the price! Or maybe you know some Europian site where i can put this add?? Thank you

Very, VERY cool trailer.
If I had it I'd part with it over my dead body......sorry, had to make the joke.
Time to undertake a resto.

You could also try local and European caravan and trailer enthusiast forums.
There must be fans of this sort of thing in Holland, Belgium, France, Germany and Austria if not in your part of the world.
It would be the ultimate trailer to turn up with for Bad Camberg or VW Euro.
