The T4 was produced between 1990 and 2003 and our camper van, registered J469 MDL dates from 1991-92. It would have been manufactured by VW's commercial vehicle department, specifically their contractor Westfalia-Werke. Our model is the pre-facelift version featuring the shorter nose/front end which was subsequently re-shaped in 1996.
Decorated in an all-over rusty red colour scheme with grey interior, our model has a left hand drive configuration. The colourful printing on the front below the windscreen is a clue as to the country it was used - California - reproduced in colourful lettering. The T4 was highly popular in the USA, where it was known as the Eurovan. The universal appeal of VW Camper Vans lives on!

Oxford Diecast VW T4 Westfalia Camper Paprika Red is a model die‑cast representation of a Volkswagen T4 Westfalia camper van. It carries the manufacturer part number 76T4001 and depicts a vehicle from the Initial Privatisation period.
The real T4 was produced by Volkswagen between 1990 and 2003. The specific van modelled here was registered J469 MDL and dates from the 1991‑1992 year span. It is the pre‑facelift version with the shorter nose that was replaced by a reshaped front end in 1996. The vehicle was built by VW's commercial vehicle department in conjunction with the contractor Westfalia‑Werke and is shown in a left‑hand drive configuration.
The model is finished in an all‑over rusty red colour scheme with a grey interior. Colourful lettering below the windscreen reproduces the “California” badge that identified the market for which the original van was used. In the United States the T4 was commonly known as the Eurovan, reflecting its enduring popularity as a camper van.
