Anybody know what this font is ? Not a million miles away from the T6 Ocean font

Not sure if this is of any relevance.

Good work. I think that's it. Cheers.

It's a bespoke VW font, "Volkswagen Head" I think. I've tried searching for it but can't source it from anywhere, perhaps unsurprisingly.

The old one was pretty close to Avantgarde, but I have no idea what they've based the new one on.

Volkwagen used most of the time a Futura for advertising.

It's not uncommon for a big company to have it's own font designed. Sometimes derived from a standard commercial available font (Like Dell using Museo which was extended by the original designer even to Thai lettering), sometimes special designed for the company (Like the TUI font which comes with a 300+ page manual how to decorate your LandRover Defender in style).

Many typographic logos are 'restyled' by the designer, like closing the F in the California decal.

May have missed the point of the question, but isn't an old Westfalia logo?

Did you need an original one replacing sidepod, or do you have another top secret plan? http://www.poptopshop.nl/a-44007616/t4-stickers/california-freestyle-stickerset/
