Good point, I can't recall any waterboxer vans in that color. Diesel and aircooled, sure. I don't know if there are any exact cutoff vins for Westy changes since the bodies were built and then shipped to Westfalia for completion at a later date. Completion may not have always been sequential by chassis vin and the changes VW parts data references in the Westy stuff is by Westy serial number on the Westy ID tag, not the vin.
