I have just bought the oldest RHD panel in Australasia
Can anyone tell me if they know of any earlier than chassis number
below in RHD.

Chassis no 20-077177

New into New Zealand with 5 other prototype RHD vans.

Cheers

Mikki

Pictures please.

I take it yours is a 1954 model 21D. I don't see yours listed on the BarndoorDK registry.

Are you asking for any older RHD Barndoor regardless of model or any older RHD Panel?

If it's the latter, then just off the top of my head, Mitsuhiro in Japan has a 53 RHD SC and there is another Panel earlier then yours as well 20-074720. I'm sure there are others.

There is a double door RHD Panel in the states as well as a RHD Deluxe, but I think both are a little later then your chassis #

So when you say oldest production, what does that mean?

When did VW start rhd production at Wolfsburg?

Thanks
