Does anyone know where there is a list of how many were made year over year? Vanagons specifically. Thanks

Never heard of a Vanagon sika or doka... Always imagined they were all Transporters :wink: (Not sure about the few Tristars sold in the USA, but over here even they were Transporters)

I think over on syncro.org or vanagon.com websites there are some rough numbers posted in the technical specs sections.

Quote: SYNCRO Total Production – 43468 (of these 2108 were right hand drive models)

Single Cab Pick ups (M245) 1787 produced.

These vehicles were only available in the UK with 1.9 litre petrol or 1.6 litre turbo diesels.

Double Cab Pickups (M247) 6849 produced.

These vehicles proved to be very popular & were generally available with the same engines as the pickup. However a special “Tristar” model was produced fitted with a 2.1 litre petrol engine

Australia sold around 283 Double Cabs (80 were syncro with 1 Tri Star and 1 syncro 16")

About 80 Single Cabs with 8 syncros.

All had the MV 2.1 engine.
