How many styles of Late Bay are there?

Discussion in 'Type 2 History' started by Imallowedout, May 31, 2013.

  1. Hi folks, I have often wondered about this. Could someone knowledgeable maybe do a post for new people looking to buy a late bay. When I bought mine (I was in a bit of a rush) I didn't know there were so many variations available. Like Danbury, Devon, Westfalia etc - how many styles are there?

    Riviera
    dormobile
    sportline
    plus aussie ones it's all country dependant i'd imagine - one thing that is FACT - WESTFALIA were the only vw approved and sold one.
