The Volkswagen Westfalia T4 Transporter California Coach Camper Model History

The Westfalia California Coach was a continuation of the original first (1990 onwards) T4 Westfalia model previously known as the California. The Westfalia California Coach was available in both hightop and poptop roof versions. Up to 1996 the base vehicle for the VW California Coach was the short wheel base “short nose” version of the VW T4 Transporter.
