This beautiful Westy is ready to take you where you want to go! It's taken us where we've wanted to go every time. In 2015 we test drove several Vanagon and European Westys. We chose this awesome rig because it was in great condition, had lots of crucial options and was the most fun to drive! From long road trips to overnights on the coast, she has treated us well. Your turn!
