I've never really named my van, but when we camp with my buddy and his 78, which he calls the Green Burrito, I call my van the Tan Taco.

Here is my 83.5. It was painted in 2013ish. They did a decent job. I wish they pulled the windows but hey grandma gifted it to me in amazing shape.

This photo was sent out in the Asheville Van Life Rally email.

I haven't updated my post to this thread since my pop top conversion years ago. Here it is parked in front of the same brewery (Eddyline - Buena Vista) years later. Long live Savannah Beige!

It is what it is. Tan, Beige, flesh color....not what I would choose but if you want a sub 100k miles doka 2wd, the price was right. It's my dog now and part of the family.
Possibly as I go along I may pick another VW color that's really close but slightly grey leaning and patch by patch, repaint it. For a while it would look a bit digital camo.
I will at least test fit the Porsche heritage 19" Fuchs, they are Hartmann reps so, no I didn't drop 6k on a set of wheels. I kept them when I sold a TT that I bought which happened to have them..

The beige just looks better the longer you live with it doesnt it? I'm not sure many newer vehicles would pull it off.

Nice looking van. Those wheels look so nice!

Nothing finer than shiny beige!

FYI, someone installed your mirrors on the wrong sides of the van.

I agree. It's not like with a doka you can pic and choose the best color on the lot.
I'm now accustomed to my Timore beige /tan color. Like a yellow dog. You can't judge your dog for his/her fur color. Dog is family.
I think if I'd found a slate blue grey the asking price would have been more, red would louder than I'd prefer. White would be ok, I had a white 77 mk1 rabbit I loved.
Maybe beige is the best color ?
