Most Westfalias were made from Kombis, which had the single color paint job. I
have seen 1 Westfalia that was made from a standard bus, a 227******. Not only
did it have the 2-tone paint, it also had a pop-out window inside the wall
closet instead of a fixed window. It did have the wood headliner and pop-top.
Interesting indeed...
