I have only seen one Syncro Sunroof anyplace ever - in my life, and it
was before I ever even became aware of Vanagons. But I remember this one
very clearly  because a former co-worker - a Japanese fellow - had
bought it. He was an engineer with the company we both worked for and he
was very throough in everything he did. Just knowing who he was and how
he worked, I'm sure he did a great amount of research in detemining what
vehicle to buy for his family. We were in Alaska, and as I recall he
specifically wanted the sunroof for travel to  "the Lower Fortyeight",
and the four wheel ability for travel in Alaska. I think his rig was a 9
passenger.
