Be interested to know how many RHD twin slider syncros were made.
Can't be in huge numbers looking at that.

Having a 14" / LDH / MV-motor / caravelle, I take comfort in the fact that spare parts are easier to find (and then, compared to aproximatly 1.3 million t25's that were built overall, every syncro is somewhat of a rare thing)

I find it interesting that the number of syncro work trucks (ie single/double cabs and panel vans = 14,484) is dwarfed by the number of syncro people carrier trucks (caravelles and kombis = 28984). Twice as many is a heavy skew, I wonder if this was intentional and marketed as such.
It would be interesting to see the British figures as I don't know if that split exists over here, not when looking at the make up of an average syncronauts outing.

If one were to take the figures above for body style and use a crude prorata distribution based on the total figures which show:
4.85% of syncros built were RHD, and
95.15% were LHD
In leiu of actual data, we could assume RHD figures in the region of:
Single cab pickup - 87
Double cab pickup - 332
Panel van - 284
Kombi bus - 710
Caravelle bus - 695

I'm sure I read somewhere that only 250 Club Jokers were built.
