My girlfriend snapped this pic of a DOKA on a flatbed going down the 405 fwy in Torrance, CA. She and I both would like to know what it is? Looks like a utility compartment of some sort, but I dunno...Thanks

I actually think this one was recently for sale? I remember either an ad or thread about it.

License plate was NON-US...May have been coming out of the Port of Los Angeles or Long Beach which isn't far from where this was taken. I'm guessing it's actually a Syncro-DOKA? Thanks...

Oh, it finally landed and cleared customs. It it heading up to OR IIRC, a friend of AA trans bought it.
Not a syncro 16 but was priced similarly.

The rear NATO canopy style top is designed like many european overlanders like to have their MAN or Unimogs styled.

According to the ads it is an original 16" with lengthened wheel arches to accomodate bigger tires.

Isn't that Mike's (Busman.be) Otigger powered 6cylinder syncro 16 doka?
VERY rare.
I'm pretty sure that is. It was for sale on his site in belgium/germany (I think) a while ago.

From the photo, it's Russell's (ex part owner of Syncro-Nutz) Syncro 16 Doka which he recently sold to someone in U.S.

From memory, an upright 1.9 TDI engine conversion, home brewed rear canopy, jacked up a bit with 245-75-16 tyres, unless he changed the spec.

Russell has built and sold several Syncro 16s now but seems to prefer to remove the wheel arches.

As far as I know those are 235/85r16 that's why he had to extend the wheel arches...
