Westfalia use the iconic club joker name on the Ford!   
Do Westfalia just keep kicking out as many models as they can! Club joker urban added to the lengthy list now![:stop](/data/customsmile/stop.png "Stop    :stop")

The DNA will be unmistakable. Its over 2m which is a huge disadvantage. And doors both sides means a severe impediment to optimal space usage inside. Liking the colour though, so not all bad. On the other hand a Swamper edition gonna look a bit naff.

And a walkthrough. I see so a few nice modern touches but many compromises, not least of which the rear seats, lack of storage and the interior table setup.

Buying a model labelled "Urban" and converting it to a swamper seems like an oxymoron to me!

I like the nugget but the inside of this is awful! Not really sure why they have bothered to kick out another model with so many and they already struggle with building vans in an acceptable time scale.  
They need to invest more in uk dealers and manufacturing than design!!!!

Looks like the Cali concept, small and cramped.  
  
The ability to walk thru past nugget / westfalia joker designs was their best feature. They might have produced this to take sales from VW + avoids an alu roof which is more prone to corrosion / damage.

Or they can't get a Multivan base vehicle from VW to convert so they are left with the Ford as the VW commercial is not yet available.

Yes, that’s my understanding. A panel van version of the Multivan doesn’t exist, the cost for converters would be astronomical to strip out and start again.This leaves us with a VW Multivan California and aftermarket conversions based on the VW / Ford T7.
