Re: Looking for a roof tent

We bought a roof tent in 1988, its a type "Adventure" from http://www.beduin-tents.de For summer its perfect. We used it for several trips around Europe on our Caravelle syncro. Takes some time to close and pack it, but it's ok. Here some pictures: http://www.vwpix.org/web/Dachzelt/.tmp/64...

Re: Syncro bay westy

I think so, the museum bay westy is still running. In 2007 the gearbox had a malfunction, and it was repared by the same guys who developed the car in the 70s. They are already working at Volkswagen.

Re: two old press photos...

Oh wow, 1986 this can be true. I don't know if Volkswagen only puts the plates for the photos on the vans, maybe fantasy plates?
