Mark, All, had a good look at these excellent pictures and like to list a few observations that I made.
I do like almost all with the exception of the UHF radio cut-out, what a pity that another place could not be found, maybe overhead?
The steering wheel makes me green with envy, it’s a must have.
The aircon unit is as bad as mine which sports horizontal outlets.
The warning label next to the diff lock panel is located on the right hand side ! who put it there ? Factory?
Door panel Kamei storage containers are possibly after market as in the eighties car makers avoided after marked equipment at all cost to be factory installed
I like the super clean ceiling in lounge/bedroom with that supa dupa dome light real showstopper, and real cosy. And those s/s handle surrounds where you lift the roof are real cool.
Also the ventilation fan is great to stay cool. The prison bars on the rear window ....just tooo cool
I like the real 12 Volt GPOs (General Purpose Outlet) much better than our cigar lighter plugs (rubbish)
Rear vision camera, great for us oldies, saves our necks!
Aha, next pic we can detect the left/right switch for some electric mirrors.
Speed control, the real thing, the one to die for . I have a germ. After marked kit have not installed it because it is very much ‘after marked’
VIN plate seats *8* good luck, maybe backpackers ( I know it came in as a Caravelle)
What is Recall Code 20 F 3 ?
Vanagon ? nice touch.
Definitely THE buy for 2010.

Pete, Skot, Hart & Ken
I saw the vehicle when Roger and I visited Everard a couple of weeks back in Melbourne - it is an outstanding vehicle and you have done very well thanks to Ken and Everard! I have a few pictures on my phone if anyone is interested for me to post them.
Regards
Mark.

You should enjoy your travels in it.

Hi Hart,
Will prob be in your area on Monday so will give you a call and drop in if it suits you and time permits.
Ken is on my list of stop overs just North of Sydney.
The Syncro is a good one and the stories that Everard has passed on regarding its initial purchase and history are great.
I have only seen pictures of the car myself so im glad this site exists as it did fill in some info that made me buy this one.
I work in the Middle East so was advised by Ken about the vehicle.Was out the back of Jordan in the middle of nowhere when i sealed the deal these computers certainly make the world a smaller place.
Bought the car by email as i could not resist Kens repeated urging to stop looking and get this one.
Ken you missed your calling to be the worlds best used VW car salesman.
Thanks to Everard for being the Gentleman he is and helping me come to an agreement that was agreeable for both of us using only email.
Regards Pete.
