Westfalia T3 Club Van 

 

The Volkswagen T25 / T3 1988 Westfalia Club Van with Grey Furniture / Dark Grey Edging and Grey Upholstery Model History.

In June 1988 a rare model called the Volkswagen Westfalia Club Van was introduced. Having a similar layout to the equivalent Westfalia California of that year but with differences to the standard equipment. For example the kitchen unit was slightly different and did not come with a cooker or fridge (although these could be specified as options). Also it had no LPG gas tank or gas fittings. This model was available only with a poptop roof with aero dynamic spoiler on the cab roof. See below for full specification details.
