Good point, I can't recall any waterboxer vans in that color. Diesel and
aircooled, sure. I don't know if there are any exact cutoff vins for
Westy changes since the bodies were built and then shipped to Westfalia
for completion at a later date. Completion may not have always been
sequential by chassis vin and the changes VW parts data references in
the Westy stuff is by Westy serial number on the Westy ID tag, not the vin.
