First a complaint; VW South Africa please put a date on your publicity material. This month’s brochure, an eight-page fold-out, printed on stronger than average paper (bordering on the card), probably dates from 1983 or ‘84, as its theme is one of comparing the old air-cooled 2.0-liter T3 engine with the newly introduced 1.9 water-cooled offerings. However, clever marketing types eke out good news, so might well have been describing the water-cooled engine as new in 1985.

Lance & Lisa Beaver tell the story of their...‘Old School' Westfalia Bay
The history of our bus is varied. I heard that it used to belong to a soccer player who lived in it for a while, and a tale of a cross country trip that was taken in it. Since we’ve owned it, we have been to numerous car shows with our car club Kahiko Kula and enjoy that immensely, but taking it camping is our joy.
