Syncros everywhere at the Sydney VW Nationals with around 13 at the venue. Included was a rare Karmann Gypsy syncro camper.

Cheers Ben.

I had a great day - we got to "syncro chat"most of the day and check out swap meet stuff - buy the boss and kids some stuff and a couple of bits for the bay kombi.

Loved that Karmann Gypsy syncro - yet with a 1.9 carby motor it would struggle.

Also loved that 1 in 8 only Australian delivered syncro single cabs which I understand was owned by one of the Muller boys with Tri-star 14 flared guards and big tyres on 15" Mercedes rims.

I attached some photos of the syncros.

See you all @ Valla in a bout 7 weeks!

Cheers,

Skot

Hi all
The photos of the nationals look great - I'm really disappointed I missed it this year. Is that the most syncros together in one place in Australia for some time? Btw I recently got myself a scoda scout, and loving it - so I'm now owner of two relatively rare awd models for the Vw stable.
Cheers Murray

Bruce,

Phill was swap meeting in his 2wd DOKA. At least that vehicle is the correct colour!

All,
Well I can report there were five syncros camped Saturday night prior to the show, on a suitably level grassed area and a pleasant time was had by all.
Four of us had visited John and Grace Figgis at their home on our way down to Prairiewood, four syncros parked out front and one in the garage was an impressive sight to behold!
Thanks to John and Grace for their most generous luncheon, hospitality and conviviality.
Had we not owned a syncro ... none of this would have happened! All power to the syncro!
Cheers.
Ken

Thats very correct Bruce.

Only problem is - only a few of us have realised it.

Hello Phill,
 
Is this the only Gypsy in Australia? Have you seen one before in Australia?

Hi Everyone,
Christine and I had a great time at the Nationals talking to everyone and checking out the other Syncros, it was great hearing the stories behind all of them as well. We are looking forward to the next time we all get to meet up again. The captain's chairs we picked up on the day fitted on without any hassles too; they do look a bit tired but with covers on they will be great.
Thanks Phil for the CD! - and everyone else for letting us pick your brains.

Roger and Christine.
