Subject:      South African van differences - when they happened
Content-Type: text/plain; charset=ISO-8859-1

I'd wondered about the claimed differences I'd been told the RSA T3s
have to the German ones, as all the images I saw of RSA vans didn't
differ... window sizes or rear vents.

I bid on a 1990 RSA Caravelle recently; it didn't differ from the
German; it also had slide heater controls. However I am in the process
of buying a 1993 RSA Microbus 2.5i, and this van does have larger rear
side-windows, the rear vent panels are different and it has rotary
heater/aircon controls.

Looking now at an RSA buy-sell website, I find that a 1992 van is the
same as a German van, so it would appear that the changes were made
some time in later 1992.
