Introduction and help locating a Syncro to purchase!

1
Hey all
My name is Joel and i'm from W.A looking to buy a Syncro.
After owning a 2WD T3 Westfalia Club Joker and driving it round UK and Europe for 6 months I decided I couldn't live without a VW camper in Aus.

Anyway, I'm looking for a Syncro camper, something along the lines of a Trakka or the like.
I was day late on the Trakka that was on gumtree for sometime, umm and ahh'd about it too much and it missed it.

The other one I have a serious eye on and will be flying over to view in the coming weeks is on carsales/gumtree, with Tassie plates, converted by a company called Islander conversions.
Heres a gumtree link

http://www.gumtree.com.au/s-ad/penshurst/campervan/volkswagen-kombi-syncro-4x4-pop-top-campervan/1016643322

Does anyone know anything about that company, tried googling and searching a fair bit but have come up with nothing.

The Islander on car sales doesn't have a rear locking diff unfortunately but I guess that's something to add later when you have to rebuild the gear box haha

Any help would be greatly appreciated

If it has power steering it should have cloth seats and a rear diff lock.

Unless it has been retrofitted.

I've just noticed it's a Telstra panel van.

Did they have power steering?

Yes Phill,

That was a Telstra requirement and they should all have been fitted with it.

How can you tell its an ex Telstra van?
It does have the smaller steering wheel, and the seller also said it had power steering.

There were no syncro panel vans sold in Australia except for Telstra.

They have power steering and no diff lock.

They have a window van sliding door.

They have a unique rear bumper/towbar and grab handles on the back.

Hi Joel,

I'm also looking to buy a Syncro camper and I live in Sydney so went to have a look at this one.

It has a couple of problems that put me off. Firstly if you set off from a standing start then come off the accelerator it pops out of first gear.

Secondly there is some rust on the drivers side next to the fridge vent. Also some of the seams will need attention to stop rust starting to take hold.

It's advertised as having log books but the seller couldn't find any paperwork when I asked. I'd prefer a diff lock too, which as you know this one doesn't have.

The seller was prepared to negotiate on the price, but even so with the work that needs doing I didn't feel like this van is great value, so I'm still looking.

Paul.

There were no syncro panel vans sold in Australia except for Telstra.

They have power steering and no diff lock.

They have a window van sliding door.

They have a unique rear bumper/towbar and grab handles on the back.

How can you tell its an ex Telstra van?
It does have the smaller steering wheel, and the seller also said it had power steering.

Cheers for that info.
Doesn't quite sound like the camper for me having heard that info.
Think I'll hold out a little longer till something pops up.
