We have a T3 Syncro RHD 16" Kombi that I have been restoring to its former glory. It was ordered brand new in 88 for use as a Safari vehicle in the Serengeti, Tanzania. Are there any other RHD 16" owners out there ? I believe there to be only a handful remaining. |

The article is a bit confusing, he starts off by saying the Syncro 16 was never built in RHD then goes on to show several! _________________ Currently:

Yes, I have seen the article too. I think there was a few, but put into harsh environments from day 1 and in places like Africa where vehicles in disrepair are quickly cashed in for scrap value. I think there are very few survivors. Seen a few double cabs, but not really any kombis apart from the one that was entered in the Sydney rally in 91. |

There are two more in Down Under from the Rally back in the 90's.
16" Transporter converted to a camper by Trakka (used to be high top, now pop top)
16" Doka/Crew cab
Both are with one owner in greater Melbourne. Genuine RDH 16" _________________ 1991 Syncro self made camper van, cruising around the Black Forrest area (Germany)

Would love to see the original and your progress on restoration! Do you have a build thread, or plan to continue this one? Pics!! I am continuing to build a 1990 syncro 16 doka and am very interested in other 16s. _________________ 1990 Syncro 16" DoppleKabine 2.1 DJ 112i
