Guy alludes to having to buy a box and its a rolling shell so maybo 0WD at the mo due to no box/fr diff?

Shame! A front diff and prop wouldn't be a big problem, but a good syncro box might..

anythinng is possible with enough money

Not sure if he's on here as well, but if you've got a BY logon, ask or PM him

Seems a real shame there really can't be that many T3 RHD Syncro Pritchenwagens about. A dozen or so?

I've got a T3 RHD Syncro Sika tucked away in my garage, awaiting resto once funds & time free up!

It would be good to know just how many RHD Syncro Single Cab's are about in the UK?

My RHD Sika sold to Syncro Spares this year. I think they ended up scrapping the body as it was pretty foobar. Shame, as like you say, they are rare beasts. Pretty cool in my opinion...

Isn't that Mike Qhuia's old truck, he's raped all the good bits from and pedalled the rest on again?

Yep.......Lived 6 years in France, 3 years in Brittany {too damp/wet} then relocated to the Hautes-Pyrenees which is a fantasic region of Southern France. It's the ideal home for a Syncro, we were located 30 mins from the French/Spanish border & there was a wealth of places to explore/visit. We needed to return to the UK to be closer to hand to the wifes aging mother. Funny enough now were back she seem's to be running round like a spring chicken I'd go back there in a heartbeat, sure beats the flatlands of s/lincs
