Of the two remaining Westfalia Camping-Box's , one did not have the rear breadbox on the parcel shelf...did the other one ? if so are any their links or pictures anywhere...Please note I'm not referring to the 70's one's that VW had made...any help would be much appreciated _________________ RHD n proud |

There are more than two known to exist.
As far as I know all of them are missing the rear cabinet set. The only rear cabinet sets I have seen are in literature, and the reproduction units Westfalia made for the museum. |

Do you know for sure this bus is in the UK? When I posted the pics originally, the bus was in South Africa but the owner was studying in the UK. Cheers.
