I was referring to two different Wolfsburg edition Westfalias.  The
'84, my current ride, has all the kitchen equipment, power steering,
tach, arm rests and extra-luxurious upholstery.  The '85 Wolfsburg
Edition was my previous Westy, comes sans kitchen, with rear facing
seat, with pop-top.  Both are built by Westfalia.  The '85 models are
often and incorrectly called Weekenders.
