is a california a better van than a joker or club joker, im thinking of buying a clean pop top van but i unsure of specs can anyone out there help

Joker and Club Joker are the slightly older models (upto about 1987) they have the Brown and Biege interior. They were replaced by the California and Atlantic (1987-1991) with the Grey interior.
So: Joker is roughly equivelant to the California and Club Joker equivelent to Atlantic.
Obviously the later models are newer and do have a few more goodies.
As is often said on this forum....Condition is everything so in the end go with whichever is the best deal and in the best condition for you hard earned...

All Westies had the grey interior from around 1986. Joker and Club Joker was still available into 1988 (like mine is) as the models crossed over. The Joker is approximate to the California, Club Joker is equivalent to the Atlantic, bearing in mind that just about any item was available as an option, so it`s possible to get a basic Joker with every option box ticked, which would have more kit and toys than an Atlantic. Condition is first and foremost, then make sure that evrything works, it`s a lot of money to get things like fridges and gas tanks sorted out if they are kaput.

There is always one.....thats why I said up to about 1987... Condition is indeed everything.
Most agree the 1.6TD to be the best original engine option.
