Note that the ad says it is a "Syncro L". That "L" model Vanagons are not as
common as the
GL in the US. VW started bringing in the less plush L models in 90-91 as a
price busting scheme.

BTW, many came with jumpseats and Weekender rear benches (bed) but no
folding side table. The upholstery
is tweed vs. velour in the GL. Ironically the upholstery in these vans are a
good match to the ones found in the
rare Tristars. The Tristars had front seats with armrest sets (like the GL
vans) and a rear pocket. The L seats had
no armrests or pockets. They vans also got rubber floor coverings which are
great for muddy conditions. Did you
notice the black painted bumpers? That's the way the came.
