You can pile everything into its spacious accommodation, including the kitchen sink which is often a fixture in any case - and just head off!

Notice the louvred side windows and the tan luggage rack at the front of the roof. Wheel trim, VW badge and bumpers are white and the interior is moulded in silver grey. A finishing touch is the Westfalia lettering printed across the rear of the roof.
