    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 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

    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 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.

      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.

    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.

      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!

      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.
