RHD VW T25 Westfalia 1983 Magazine Article

Post by DaveyP2004 »

Hi Chaps,
I know in the past there has been talk about whether Westfalia factory made RHD versions of the T25 had ever been made. In the end a couple of genuine examples surfaced.

I have just come across this quite in depth magazine article about the RHD VW T3 Westfalia Continental that was sold in the UK.

Interesting that even in the early days it was noticed that the Germans were not lovers of toast

Enjoy:

Found a couple more interesting earlier articles with a bit more info on the UK RHD Westfalia Continental plus lots of other stuff:

http://www.westfaliaT3.info/Sept_82_Nat ... aliaWM.pdf" onclick="window.open(this.href);return false;



Interesting that it says 6 different layouts available.



Also:

Interesting in that it says the Westfalia was good value for money compared to UK models, so I guess it is suprising that there are not many around ?

Cheers,

Dave
