Good morning Vanagonauts: Could someone point me in the correct direction for the dimensions of a Westfalia High-top Vanagon? I am on the hunt for a Vanagon Westfalia to take-over the "family adventure vehicle" role from my '66 Westy. In the past month, I have looked at a dozen Vanagon Westfalias - mostly stock WBX, but a few TD/TDi conversions and one Subaru. The only problem to-date has been sticker shock. :-0 In the past week I have come across three 1988 Westfalia high-top Vanagons for sale. All three have 1.6L TDi engines w/ manual transmissions (2 4-spd, 1 5-spd). All three, quite possible originated from the same VW dealer in Québec back in 1988. The interior of the high-top is intriguing, though I expect their handling and fuel economy will suffer (but the diesel should give me ~10mpg better than the WBX). My most immediate concern is whether I could get one in the garage {my guess is no}. I have searched the Samba and Vanagon facts for vehicle height dimensions with the high-top, but have come up empty handed. Certainly one of you has a high-top and could just scoot out into the drive with a tape measure? Roy |
