Hi,
So the green one with the metallic colour an the german plates is my 16" syncro. Its an original 16" Westfalia Club Van. I think there was only one ever build. It was build in 1988,so its a very early 16" syncro. It spend 6 months at a lokal dealer before it got sold and registered in 1989. Its completely original apart from the 1.9TDI and has 520k kilometers on it. The Atiwe rims are not original, they are from a mercedes.

If there are any questions about it send PN or post them here
This is how it looks today:

Production started in 1988. A friend of mine had the oldest 16" a prototype and it was build in 1986/7

Just to add, as 16" Westfalias/Multivans had the sparewheel carrier as standard, they could be ordered from Sept.1988

crease discussion here: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/forum/viewtopic.php?t=5...p;start=80

It would be interesting to know for certain if this van is a real 16" or a converted 14". The internal bracing on the 16" was supposed to prevent that buckling.


Know this Syncro, it's a modified 14' Syncro. The roof is actually removable, just is bolt on. Interior is a mix of Westfalia and self made matching original colours.

Cheers Arne

The 4 on Busmans page
http://busman.be/syncro-information/t3syncroarticles/syncroproductionnumbers/
Microbusdeluxe's, Henni's, Tristar connection's, supere's and mine ist 9 allready which are quite sure genuine.
I don't know where the munich one went what makes 10, and I would think the Andorra'n one is real as well, 11. (Boltze "vwpix.org" has pix of 6 more which look genuine which would be 17 only on the internet so I would bet there have been more than 20 built)

No, as I know him if it's genuine he would have mentioned.

I used a T3 California for the roof and interior.

Which interiors did the few (10-11??) Syncro 16" Westfalia T3s come with?

Very nice!

It's a carbon copy (although much cleaner) of Limey's interior other than the cloth.

Limey has a cleaner look now as I got tried of the non-original decals.
