Volkswagen Kombi T2 Helsinki Westfalia Original

🚗 1978 VW Kombi T2 Westfalia – Pick-up in Barcelona

Hi, My name is Nicolas and this is Vermut, my 1978 VW T2 Westfalia. I hope you share the same passion for classic vehicles as I do. It’s ideal for a couple’s getaway around Catalonia (Costa Brava 🏖️, Garrotxa ⛰️, Ebro Delta 🦩, Siurana 🧗‍♂️, Rupit 🏰, etc.), or further afield if you have more time (Basque Country, Balearic Islands, etc.).

👴 Important – please read carefully

Driving a 45-year-old classic vehicle comes with some responsibilities. I kindly ask you to take good care of it, so it stays in good condition and can continue to be rented.

Previous experience with classic cars and/or campervans is recommended. Manual transmission experience is mandatory. The van weighs around 2 tons and does not have power steering, so it requires a bit of strength (nothing extreme).

🕑🕡 Check-in / Check-out times

Check-in is available Monday to Sunday, from 06:00 to 22:00. Check-out is self-service, so it can be done at any time (24/7).

Check-in takes about 45 minutes: time to explain how the van works, sign contracts, pay the deposit, and do a short 5-minute drive so you can get used to it.

🌆🚫 Visiting Barcelona, ZBE restrictions and parking

Barcelona has a Low Emission Zone (ZBE). This regulation does not allow older vehicles to circulate within the city from Monday to Friday, between 07:00 and 20:00.

For the check-in day, we arrange a special permit that allows driving within Barcelona on that day. There are no restrictions on weekends, which makes them a good time to visit the city or schedule your check-in.

If you decide to visit Barcelona, you can park Vermut for free in our private parking space. If you arrive by car, you can also leave it there free of charge for the entire duration of your stay.

⚠️ ZBE fines are high, so please keep this in mind.

🛣️ Routes

We provide route suggestions for 2, 3, 5 and 7 days, including places to stay overnight, sites to visit and good beaches.

📅✅ Availability

If Vermut is not available, I have two other VW T2s you can choose from a red and white one (Tomatina) and an orange one (Lenny).

✈️ Airport

Airport check-in / check-out is available for €90 each way. My vans are a hobby, not my main job, so I only offer this service to people who really need it and are happy to pay for it.

📌 Additional information

Cruising speed: 80 km/h Average consumption: around 10 L / 100 km (petrol SP95)

The van may be less comfortable for people under 160 cm tall, due to limited seat adjustment.
