I dont think those two fold up seats are 'Multivan' spec. There should be just one seat behind the driver with storage underneath but who cares, they match the rear seat. The roof and side storage were options for the Multivan and are hard to get as a set as so few were made and allow the full width seat to be used. Looks good.

The 2 fold up seats are multivan spec. Used more in white star setup with white star upholstery of course.
Very nice setup to work from.

I expect it was the air horn that clinched it!

That looks a great base vehicle to start with. go get the M codes and see what she came with from the factory.
The most versatile interior available, ever, me thinks.

Cheers! hopefully won't be to hard to get on the road. Need to sell or split the old westy to fund future works now. { was going to swap interiors, but think that would be a shame, as it seems a rare interior}
Be a couple of weeks to get the M codes
Just need a multivan kitchen unit now

Good effort. Looks like a gem and the waiting and patience has paid off. Still looking for a caravelle or camper if you have any leads now that you have found one please pass them on.
Cheers

The fold up seats are from a Whitestar Multivan interior which are 2WD only so they were added at some stage. Good seats to have and the material they are made from is super tough and cleans up really well. I have the Multivan Handbook supplement from my Syncro Multivan which has the details of everything including the pop top .... in German of course! Like Russel says its a good start!
This is a 'Multivan' with a fixed seat as found in Syncros

Good one. Just enough left to do to make it yours.
If its going to be your day drive then the multivan layout is perfect. Useable/flexible layout without the excess weight.
If just a holiday/weekend bus then the camper fittings may be nice.

Won't be a daily drive. Ideally would want a full camping interior, but would feel a bit guilty ripping the multivan one out. Plus i think it would need to be a later grey westy interior, i've got the one with the brown piping.
Showed the wife a picture of it today, haven't really kept her in the 'loop'. First thing she said was "where's the cooker?"
Wait 'til she finds out it hasn't got a night heater yet
What do people make of the eber hydronics? Should be able to run on the rear matrix, shouldn't i?

Got a diesel erbespacher out of my vito if it helps to break the ice, if I buy a van that is already heated, then its yours for the help already given. Cheers
