Found on the Amescador site - some very cool shots of New Bays in 1980 - along side new Vanagons and LT's.

Thanks for posting those Notch! The Bay with the awning and the sleeper pod sticking out of the rear looks like some kind of flying insect..... _________________ If you haven't bled on them, you haven't worked on them.

First time I have seen slider side hinged Dormobile tops. Was it an option or a NL thing? |

I checked a few of the license plates and a fair ammount is still listed @ the Dutch DMV!
One that is listed had 2 owners in it’s life |
