eric,

i've owned two of these. my buddy has two of them as well. most were
white though i have seen two silver ones. coincidentally, the crappy
wool like upholstery is a match to the ones found in tristars.

to my knowledged the VW dealer in albany, california (near berkeley)
sold 11 of these models in 1990.

If you find a Camper model with a tach, it was either optioned from the dealer or the entire instrument panel has been replaced. You can't just add a tach to this instrument panel without replacing the foil board and the clear plastic gauge cover.
