Here in the states I would think it was a 67 N model by the 4 lug wheels, headlight,windshield washer and window crank knobs also the ash tray is a 67 only item. The dead give away would be the 67 door release pull though.

I have to agree with Chris, it looks like a 67 A model (or standard or base model), not one of the upgraded versions. I say A model, as the N was discontinued. :wink:

Took delivery of my '69 Panel Van here today. This beast has been around, Norway, the UK, the USA & now Australia.

I've got many plans for this baby. Looking forward to getting stuck into it.

That one is stunningly awesome. Is that the original pigalle interior? Or just an after market?

like this one?

looks like a A model to me too, but then they changed the taillights, it should have the flat lenses, right?

Thanks, I am pretty stoked on it. The interior is not original though.

Yeah I can't believe it took so long to sell. I watched it for like 18months then thought I had to make it mine. Will see about detailing the wheels. May even get different wheels for it all together yet. See what happens.

Another 1965 panel van recently found in Sydney, Australia.

Note that the original panels have been cut to fit the smaller glass (!).

Very original interior. Note the original 'N' clock blank.

And this is the amazing bit- the body is 1 x number away from my own black panel van.

Amazing.

Very cool find indeed. Such a shame about the panels though. Like most panel vans around they have been messed with in some form or another at some point in their lives.

Hey Aaron are any of these for sale or going to be :D

Yes the white car is going to be available in the near future once it's running and the brakes etc are sorted out (make it drivable).

Boris 02 9789 1777 (Sydney Australia). Tell him I sent you.

If I had the room, I would buy so I had twin panel van's however I am building a new room on the house at the moment and cars are not at the top of my priorities.

email me if you desire further photo's and details.

hey all,

can someone explain to me about the inserts. some have air vents & some dont. did they make both (they must of) did it depend on what country they were ordered in?

cheers matty
p.s ... pics attached.

Sat Mar 17, 2012 3:21 pm

WELL I guess is a NO
since there's NO response
Aaron B. is the ONLY one can help you

What can I see is
the Green Square looks home made

the Brown Square looks like the louvers were DELETED because you can still see the inside drain pockets where the louvers were
could be a leak problem

the other below White Square they are WELL DONE the detail around the window on those panels
since I can NOT see thru the rear window if they were DELETED too

i could be WRONG
this is just my opinion

That car (now owned by ColonyVW) definitely has vents. Here are some photos from the 2009 VW Classic:

Photoshop shenanigans?
