Syncro 16". |
|
Only 2,138 16" heavy duty buses were built, before production was wound down in 1992. The 16" version differs from the 14" in a lot of details. Thicker or more rigid material for the structure and suspension, different transmission ratios, with a rear diff-lock included in the package, and for some countries a front diff-lock as well. Special air tubes for the transmission to avoid to sucking water while wading, underbody protection shields, enlarged brakes and a modified suspension which enlarges the wheelbase another 20mm for clearance.

The interior is obviously very spartan as Prisoner types don't normally have need to stop off for a cuppa on route. In contrast I do, regularly, so basically I needed to find an interior a little more luxurious. Anyway, if you are going to do something you might as well do it properly. To this end I splashed out on a used but original Westfalia interior. Fabulous. Rest assured that any prisoner now carried, is in utmost comfort. Click to see pictures full size. |
