Good morning.
My dad and I were working on his van last night. On my way home, I saw something...
Location: West Linn OR
On Appoloosa Way.
Is this yours? It looks to be a true South African Microbus Syncro? If so, can you tell us about it?
Your neighbor also has a really nice white syncro westy.
Love Portland and our rides! |

| SA T3 had much larger side windows, and its a little hard to tell, but those might be the bigger side windows. |

Looks very much like Blackdogvan's old van. I heard rumours it was sold to someone in the US.

;) I only own busses.
Vans are made by Chivvy, Ferd, and others, although I'm pretty sure Urovans and Routavans are vans.
If I were to drive a van, it would probably be a Honda or Toyota. |

| Are we talking about the Bordeaux Red Metallic hardtop van with the SA grille or the Pastel White Syncro Westy? |

Not all of the south African vans had larger windows, only the later ones. If it were a sa van it would have a slider facing us in the picture since its rhd |
