Hello Everyone.
My names Beck and im new to this site.
I own a 64 deluxe beetle (currently waiting for a complete restoration after a lady ran up the back of me doing 60kms after swerving for a fox, whilst i was parked in a parking lane)
I also own a 74 Westfalia Continental Bay that has a very strange roof that no one can seem to Identify.
One person told me it was a MCI /Modular camping industries of Brookvale conversion but i can not seem to find pictures or anything to do with them.
I do believe that it has had its roof changed in Australia.
Any thoughts and ideas would be greatly appreciated as i have been on 4 other sites and still no one can help me 🤪

Modular Camping Industries of Brookvale NSW (ph 9382424), were doing conversions in the early 1980 and possibly earlier.

"kombikim" on this forum has a kombi with a modular conversion; I've attached a picture but it doesn't look much like yours.

Yours looks like it is a copy of what Westfalia were doing with bays, especially since you have the "jalousie" window.
