Hi Alan,
My apologies, I did not check the web site comments recently due to being on tour in the bus. This is now visible and I put it into the Facebook group for the club as well.

Good morning
I’m not sure if this is the correct route to take for my enquiry as I’m not a member (but was once upon a time) but I thought I would try. I am looking to sell my 1971 Volkswagen Westfalia campervan and it was suggested you can offer a valuation on what you think the van is worth obviously in my mind it’s priceless but would appreciate your help if you Offer this service of course.
Hi Ricky,
We stopped doing valuations due to insurance reasons about 8 or 9 years ago unfortunately. Westies are about the most collectable of the Bays. Sadly I do not know of another club that is doing valuations. If you are a Facebook user, “Baypride forum” is very popular and they may be able to assist with the name of a club or a valuer.
Hope this helps,
Nick (Website manager)
I have paid for my membership but no details were taken or given to me about my membership and I cannot access the members area as I do not have the code. Could you please email me to rectify this?
Hi Denys,
If you email our membership secretary membership@vwt2oc.co.uk Val can assist you on next steps.

Hi, I joined and paid by Paypal on 7 Oct. I still haven’t received any log on details or correspondence and my money has been taken. Please would you forward to someone who can look into this for me? Thank you.
Hi James,
Apologies for the slow response. Val has been on holiday as our membership secretary and I have been away with work at the same time. Val has now caught up and you should see your membership pack and magazine on your mat by now. ON the website is the Driving Force page which details all of the committee and their email addresses.
Regards,
Nick
I paid for the membership but then my details were not taken other than my paypal payment email. Can someone please contact me via email to confirm my membership?

Hi
What other benifits does the club offer? I am looking at getting my bus valued for the insurance. Is this something the cliub offers?
Regards
Stuart
Hi Stuart,
Unfortunately as noted on http://vwt2oc.co/wp/about-the-club/, the club does not offer valuations any more due to insurance reasons. The club benefits are on the Join Us page http://vwt2oc.co/wp/join-us/ and include discounted purchases at a range of suppliers, discounts on Busfest, club camping and a club magazine.

23 years ago I had a brown Type 2 Holdworth level 3 conversion reg HGP***K that I drove 12,000 miles around Europe in. I’d love to know it’s whereabouts now. A few years ago it was showing as no longer taxed but I noticed it’s popped back up on the radar and is now beige. I’d love to see how it’s doing and either make an offer on it or at least be given the chance of first refusal when the current owners decide to part company with it. I have photos to prove prior ownership. Any help finding it appreciated. Thanks
Hi Darren,
With some members having multiple vans, we cannot keep a track of all number plates for all members but currently that one is not listed with a member. Other popular places are http://www.thelatebay.com and the Facebook groups latebay.fb and BayPride, someone on one of those may know about it.
If you track it down, let us know.
Regards,
Nick (Website manager)

Hi,
I joined but can’t remember my password or find it on my emails. Please can you help?
Hi Carmel,
The password for the club pages is on the first right hand page of the club magazine.

Please please someone tell me how I get my bus off Q plate?
Hi Barry,
If you have a birth letter from Volkswagen to show the proper age of the vehicle, the DVLA should be able to provide you with an age related plate. there are times when that is not possible but the folks at the DVLA can often advise over a phone call.
Hi, proud new owners of a 1976 Westy originally from California (the kids are besotted)

Hi,
Congratulations on the new addition. I’m sure she won’t let you down.
Do you gave a name for her yet?
Just about to collect a 74 converted panel van. Completely empty, so a blank canvas 🙂 . So will need lots of advice on my journey to get it how i want.
Cheers Chris
Hi Chris,

Hello All! Just thought I would say hi to all the campers out there, Happy to finally be part of the fun and hopefully get to many of these camper events as possible to meet you all :)!
Just bought a 1979 Moonraker after months of looking !!!! 😀
Welcome to the club Ollie!!.
It can be hard finding a good value van for the money you pay but it sounds like you have done it the right way and taken your time.
We hope that you enjoy yourself being part of the club.
Why not write a short article about your search for your perfect camper van. We’d love to publish it online and in the magazine.
Happy camping!!
I have just bought my first T2 bay window with the intention to fully restore her after completing a Series 3 Land Rover. However, after taking her for a ride last night ahead of stripping her down I think I will need help and some medication 🙂 So joined the team here for help over the year(s) ahead. Good to be on board.
Welcome to the club Darren and Sam!
Let us know how you progress and if we can be of any help please get in touch.
Happy Campering!!!
hi just brought a 1970 t2 lefty westfalia imported from america in 2009 and wanted to join a club to make new freinds and enjoy group wekends with a fun bunch of people and also good to get advice from many thanks leon from Daventry northants
Just owned my 72 crossover for a little over 2 months and I’m itching to get my young family out camping in her but altho usable she’s far from a show bus but with a little knowledge and help I reckon I can get a few steps closer.
Me and my gf recently bought a 72 t2. I’m glad I’ve found the right owners club. Can’t wait to see what I can learn from this website 🙂
Joining for mutual support
Hi, I’m having problems joining, the site took my money and asked for no details ?
Cheers
Martin
Hi Martin,
If you paid by Paypal, the Paypal site sends enough information for our membership secretary to send you your membership details.
If you haven’t received anything within the week, please let me know and we will sort it but I’m sure it’s all in hand.
Thanks very much for joining and I hope you enjoy your membership.
Please come along to our camps. We’d love to meet you in person!
Just got my 1979 T2 Bay Devon Moonraker conversion back from restoration and looking forward to the rest of the summer.
Hi Peter,
Sounds like you got it back just in time for the good weather!!!
Enjoy your van – why not send some photos and we can run a story about your restoration???
Look forward to hearing from you.
All the best.
Just bought a 1971 bay window t2 called Maggie May. Maggie is just having a bit of tlc before our first outing. I will probably need some help and advise. Cheers Shaun
Hope the tlc goes well. Always good to hear off people who are new to VWs. By all means if you need help get in touch and we’ll see if we can help!
I own a 2007 Watercooled T2c from Brazil,it has a 1400cc Totalflex engine and was converted/imported by Danbury Motorcaravans
