Model history

When the VW T2 was introduced in 1968, the idea of the camper van was already firmly established and it was impossible to imagine the VW family without the VW camper. Similar to the T1, VW also offered special kits developed by Westfalia for the T2. These equipment packages bore the names of various European cities, including Oslo, Zurich, Rome, Madrid, Stockholm, Brussels, Paris, Amsterdam and Berlin. The T2b Westfalia in particular has established itself to this day as the most sought-after model among the Westfalia versions - especially in the "Berlin" equipment variant.
