Thanks for having me on board, it looks to be a great site and will help me with my newest project, a 1978 South African Kombi. Its to keep my 72 fastback and 67 Variant company. I hope I'm posting in the right place.
Hello and welcome Tim, looks like a "Mikrobus 2000L". But strange - inside the luggage compartment I see chrome strips like on German L(uxury) buses, which are comparable to the South Africa "Microbus Executive 2000L", see https://www.vw-t2-bulli.de/data/books/brochures/1976-xx-vw-t2-bus-za-ad.pdf but outside there is no evidence of this (no chrome strips, no chrome in the window rubbers, no chrome bumpers). Is anything known about the factory trim level? regards,
I really dont know too much about the microbus , as i only have it a few days. As for the M Plate, i have not managed to decipher that yet. Its all a new learning curve from the type 3's
My bus is the 2000 cc twin solex 34PDSIT version, although I have seen 2 modules on the left side of the engine bay that may possibly be associated with FI, i dont know yet as I have not checked out the specs. Bus is virtually rust free, except for the battery tray and tailgate bottom panel which will need a small repair. The engine is running as it had a replacement head fitted by the po, due to a cross threaded plug. But all the tin work has not been refitted, which is a major reason for me being here, now that I have discovered the site, it looks like a world of late bay info, all in one place. Great stuff. At the moment my intentions are to get the bus driving so I can move it around the house, while I work on the variant. As soon as the variant welding is done, I will be straight onto the bus.
Twin Solex’s and fuel injection! Must do 400 mph! Love your collection and welcome to the forum. Where in Ireland are you from? p.
