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

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.

This is one I had some years ago. No real interior but had all the telltale signs of one as well as a few leftover campingbox bits and hacks. Rough bus but hopefully the new owner will some day get it finished.
More details can be seen on my website http://thebustransfer.com/Project_Archive/Pages/54_Campingbox.html

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.
