  2. Does that make it a Westiera (isn't that a flower of some sort??) or a Rivfalia (which sounds like a broken rivet!!)

    Looks a nice van tho and if the piccy is true to life it doesn't look like Panama Brown which I think is the usual 'orange' colour.

    They weren't marketed or sold here so you need to check out the samba. There will be a few in the UK but they'll be loads in the US

  8. Ours was a Riviera, now the only Riviera features are, one pair of the rock and roll bed brackets, the little bracket that held a shelf under the glovebox, and one of the bits of foam now pads out the buddy seat !

  9. I think that would be Panama Brown then. Nice bus but where's the 3/4 length roof???!!

  10. Panama Brown under Dakota beige, but this one never got the roof cut !
     
  11. I've learnt something then - I thought all Riviera's had 3/4 length pop-up roofs - No??
     
  12. No, and I've seen a couple of high tops too !

  13. Interesting eh!! Learn something new every day - my new motto in life!!
     
  14. Gone

  15. I've heard of a new riviera in town...
    @Angela we need some pics:thumbsup:
     
  16. Mentalcal.

    Wow! that sounds good! Mine is similar but I've now got 19K on the clock having done 13 K of that in the last 4 years since I owned it. Mine is the t4 2 litre tho' and has been refurbished inside a couple of years ago and it came from California (about 6 years ago) not Arizona, however it is virtually rust-free and I think possibly worth a bit more than yours. Having said that of course it all depends what someone wants to pay for it. So, good luck with the sale and I would really be interested to see if you get your asking price.

  18. Nice to see this thread still lives, my bus Old bleu is one of the founding busses in the wet westies, the blue rivi on there website in the early pics is mine.

    Here are some pics of it back then.
