You are a proper 16" van/camper? Mmm

Syncro 16's are LHD (apart from 1)

or maybe 2...

I'm proper embarrased now

Post by **HarryMann** » 09 Feb 2007, 17:23

Don't be

The 14s are perfectly strong and capable enough in all respects.... and should be cheaper of course.

Don't suppose you know if any of those 3 are diesel? or better still, who owns them?

There were 2 used in the Trans Australia Rally, or summat, but 2.1's, shame.

One was a high top camper, the other was a crew cab.

I have seen some video footage of them somewhere.

Then there is the one Mike Plompen had recently, so they are out there (CrewCab again)

There are a few RHD 16inches in the world

Australia

1x Crewcab 16inch 2,1 petrol
1x panelvan 16inch

South-africa
1x 16inch caravelle 2,1 petrol , ex embassy car (i believe russian)

Germany
1x crewcab 16inch 1.6TD
1x bus 16inch (not 100%confirmed)

UK
1x RHD crewcab 1.6TD 16inch , ex busman, ex germany

Both crewcabs (UK and Germany)
were ordered by an english VW dealer but for some resoan they never went to the UK , stayed in germany a nd were registred in 1994.

Any additions are welcome.
