1982 Volkswagen Vanagon Westfalia

Description

Volkswagen has a rich history of manufacturing highly adaptable vans that cater to the needs of people who require ample space, functionality, and elegance. It was only a matter of time before a camper van version was developed in partnership with Westfalia. The original Westfalia transformed the Vanagon into a camper van with a roof that could be raised, enabling explorers to take their homes with them almost anywhere they wished to travel. Inside the Vanagon, there is a kitchenette, dining area, and even two double beds when the roof is elevated. This level of convenience has created a loyal following of enthusiasts who cherish their Westfalias and restore and update them with contemporary equipment.
