Roy - not sure if you are planning to drive this in the winter but if so don't forget to add 6 inches for snow :)

My pop-up Westfalia doesn't fit in any garage (especially when entering at an angle).  Can't imagine any high top would fit.  My old Safare hightop side by side with a typical Westfalia seemed to be about 8 inches taller.

I'm jealous you have that many to choose from! (price notwithstanding)

I also suspect (from the 1.6L TD) they may have been Euro models that were imported into Qu�bec and not generally available here in Canada.  {this is not an uncommon pattern here and why you will find the odd TDi EuroWesty in Qu�bec as well}.
