Put in "T3 syncro" as a search on either and you should find stuff. They tend to go from as little as 700 Euro to as big as your wallet stretches.

Most of them will be happy enough to help out with more pics, info on the vehicle but don't get to thinking that because it has a TUV, its in better condition than vans over here. There are some nasty vans over there too.

Good luck but if you get stuck looking for them, feel free to give me a call anytime on 07989 333437.

if you want RHD probably not going to get anything decent in your price range, LHD are plentiful esp on the continent. Quite often owners who aren't knowledgable about the syncro drive train have been running them on uneven tyres for a long time so budget for a replacement VC at least (so buying for £1500) if it fails. if gearbox is whining, add another grand to that so you've got a £500 to spend. try and enjoy the hunt, and be patient!

Well u wont be getting a 16 like that for less than 8000 euro unless u are very very lucky.
The nato rear box will cost u half ure budget on its own.
Yes u can get cheaper syncros in europe but remember the budget u are looking at will need a lot of work to be done to it.
Everybody bangs on about how cheap they are in europe but u get whot u pay for and DONT belive the deskriptions given and photos always make a van look a lot better than it is.
U do get some bargains but on average anything under 3000 euro will need money spent on it.
Good luck.
