There were 2 of the 84 Wolfsburg models. Your nice full Camper and also
a non-poptop weekender model with a full width Westy bed. These had
jailbars over the rear window and the side windows had screens. All the
ones I have seen were dark blue with blue corduroy upholstery and had
the large sunroof.
