Thanks for that Matt, I emailed him this morning. I know I am asking a lot but ideally I would prefer a diesel (fussy, me)

You are a proper 16" van/camper? Mmm
Syncro 16's are LHD (apart from 1)
or maybe 2...

Don't be
The 14s are perfectly strong and capable enough in all respects.... and should be cheaper of course.

There were 2 used in the Trans Australia Rally, or summat, but 2.1's, shame.
One was a high top camper, the other was a crew cab.
I have seen some video footage of them somewhere.
Then there is the one Mike Plompen had recently, so they are out there (CrewCab again)
