Yes, this is true............BUT

Extremely few P21 Westies (commonly known as a Westy Standard, that's
right) were ever sold in the US, at least based on the Serial Number Data I
have, a lot more were sold in Canada.  I have seen ONE P21 Westy in my
entire life (8 years ago) and haven't seen one since and in my line I've
seen hundreds - come to California they're all over the place - especially
here in Redding from April to October it's Westy Heaven on some weekends at
Shasta Lake, Whiskeytown Lake, Lassen Volcanic Nat'l Park.  Sit on a bridge
overlooking I-5 for an hour - lots of 'em going north and south.

BTW the P21 I saw I saw 8 years ago was originally sold in Canada.

But yes, they're out there, far and few between.  As a collector's item I
wouldn't mind having one in the stable.  But I've got enough VWs to take
care of as it is.
