The upholstery is all in horizon blue vinyl with off white piping. All five seat benefit from seatbelts. The Westfalia walk through perch seat is covered to match and is a great addition. Palm tree curtains were sourced from Hawaii and really set of the rest of the interior giving an individual identity to the van.
