RichardThe3rd Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Hi, I am looking to buy a Westfalia James Cook, and have only had experience of the older model. Does anyone based in the UK own the newer model (Post 2007)? Thanks for any help. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Wasnt Me Posted March 9, 2015 Share Posted March 9, 2015 Sorry can't answer your question. But I did look up what a James Cook was. Wow what an amazing looking motorhome. Very clinical inside with all the plastic, I guess it is very lightweight. It looks like quality Germany engineering and typically Germany engineering prices too. Good luck with your information quest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 I notice that there’s an active James Cook forum with an English-language translation function http://forum.james-cook-freunde.de/viewforum.php?f=17&sid=a4037f159ef2b001e5ea6e739090739a (Not the same as talking to a UK owner, but might be useful.)

RubyExsis Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Can't offer advice/help where you can currently see one- but as there has been little response I thought that I would offer what I think I know. Used to be imported by 'Deepcar' might be followed by International motorhomes. They are not in business now but you can google their background - they were small company in Sheffield Back in 2006/7 they did send me a brochure and Priced one up for me when I was in the market for a compact motorhome. I didn't really like the odd look of the James Cook but it did seem to fit my practicality demands at a cost(expensive) I opted for a new original Hymer Exsis SG which I still have and have not found anything more practical as several other long term owners agree. We have our own forum - originally formed from members of this site. Our little Exsis is quite unique and rare and much sought after Your best bet for James Cook would be the German marketplace ,I am not expert in that area........ someone like " Judgemental " could advise, but he does not seem to post on this forum now Or even that very helpful Derek whom I see has just posted They are rareer than hens teeth but I did see one on the road once Fred Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Derek Uzzell Posted March 10, 2015 Share Posted March 10, 2015 Westfalia filed for insolvency in early-2010 and was acquired later that year by the French Rapido Group. As far as I‘m aware Rapido Group still owns Westfalia. There currently seem to be just two UK Westfalia agents http://www.lowdhams.com/ http://www.vwcampersales.com/ Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
