When I was with my parents looking at a Westfalia I saw another Westfalia
next to  it with this center seat.  It was in a brown '85 GL Westfalia.  It
was the only one I had ever seen.  It was neat!  It wasn't as tall as the
front seats; I don't think it had a headrest or someting.  It was placed
right by the sliding door in between the passenger seat and the rear seat.
We didn't drive this one because it had 130k miles and was a 4spd (Mom won't
drive a stick :(.  I wish I had one of these seats in my Bus!
