Now there's a man after my liking !!

have you considered an ex fire brigade one?

they always seem to be mint, if lacking in diff locks

I'd love an ex fire department one ...but they're hard to come by.
Some of them (especially the more "special purpose" syncro ones) also haven't run nearly enough throughout their lives and just sat there drying up ...and when they were driven, it was usually at full blast.

Here you...... where in Ireland are you? I did an EBay job two years ago from Germany so i know how its done ...

Thanks for your offer of help, syncropaddy ...but it won't be needed.
Originally from Germany myself ...now in Sligo.

try: http://www.volkszone.com/VZi/showthread ... ght=syncro

Saw it the other week at Oswestry. Guy still trying to find a home for it and open to offers. No difflocks so not interested myself

Nice looking thing ...but I'd have to butcher it, which would be a shame.
Not really interested in a high roof any more and definetly don't want a bulkhead either.

And as I said before (Jehova!) ...I likes my diesels

I have said this a few times on here, but I'll say it again incase you missed it!
Lars Neuffer athttp://www.tristar-connection.de has a huge selection of syncros, tristars, and 16" in stock, you can't see them all on his web site, but if your looking for something in particular I'd recomend getting in touch with him.

It's worth the trip over just to have a look around

Thanks, but no thanks.
I'm not particularly keen on Dokas (which your man specialises in)..they're neither here nor there as far as my needs go.

...but they're perfect for others needing 5 or 6 seats, a big tool locker and 3/4 ton of stuff loaded in the back.

Right ...decision made ...I'm gonna buy it.
To hell with all you Doka and Westy addicts , I'm gonna buy me a nekkid Kombi

Here's an idea of the condition:
