The 85 Westfalias without kitchens also came without tachs.
The 85 Westfalias with kitchen came with tachs.

In 84 models only the Wolfsburg vans came with tachs. There was a
hardtop model and a poptop full camper model. The hardtop had a
Westfalia foldout bed and sliding windows with screens and seating for 7
like a normal passenger model. Plus they both had power steering that
other 84s didn't get.

Funny thing is that after that most vans got tachs EXCEPT for Wolfsburg
poptop models 85-87.

90/91 base model passenger vans also came without tachs.

By now a tach could have been added or removed from any van for various
reasons.
