It's more like a standard Transporter with a converted highroof made by "Polyroof" and interiour fittings might be made by Westfalia. http://www.polyroof.de/typo/index.php?id=75&tx_wtgallery_pi1[show]=123448124&cHash=26d1bc44af9315a064423894f91a085d http://www.biniwersi.de/images/bulli/elliott.jpg -- Last edit: 2012-06-05 10:49:20

Roof and interior may be made by Westfalia, but not necessarily. This stuff was offered by other companies, too. Usually for lower prices, as original Westfalia-stuff was always expensive. Recently there was an article in my classic car magazine about a guy, who had restored a "faked" Westfalia Helsinki, a late 70ies T2b. He said, that he bought this nearly close copy as new, because it was much cheaper than the original. The quality was a bit lower, but he saved a lot of money anyways.
