Late to the fold but I have just acquired an 86 Syncro Rhd converted panel van Jx turbo it's more of a project than a runner but it's a keeper ( one of the 208 gang;-) )

Going right back to the original post - what are the figures in brackets?

The 253 and 255? if so, its just the vw code for a carravelle and kombi.

Spose im in this gang as well then? Where the 208 figure from?

That small text file with Syncro info on it came from this, (which was produced over 10 years ago) & still lurks somewhere on this site.

So a RHD Syncro, of any type, is rarer than any 16" model?
I'd be interested to know how many RHD Caravelles were built.

I'm a 252 man myself Less than 300 made 'apparently'

All the numbers are approximate, but I believe the reckoning is that if the proportion of lhd to rhd is anything to go by (2108/43468) that's ~5% RHD for any given model, but popularity, demand and availability was variable so nothing is certain...

Minibuses (M253) 14650 Produced
Many different types of minibus versions were available, ranging from 8 to 12 seats. They were however only supplied with the 1.9 petrol or 1.6 diesel & turbo diesel engines & were not available as Syncro’s in the UK.

Caravelles (M255) 14334 Produced
UK Supplied Caravelles were all fitted with 2.1 litre engines.

By those tokens, our RHD 1.9 1986 Caravelle C twin-slider bus (Type 256, it was built as an 11 seater I think, 3+4+4) shouldn't exist! But in the early days, it's rumoured that you took what you could get or waited a while.
IIRC Aidan once said that each big M-code variant represents about 10%, so our one may be one of ~14000 x 5% x 10% for the twin sliders i.e. one of around 70. I haven't been bothered to get a birth cert. from VW and the M-code sticker is long gone... whatever you've got, there's unlikely to be another that was made quite the same.
