I have to disagree about the fabric. That's the rougher gray fabric that comes on most Euro models. It may not be as plush as the gray stuff we got, but it sure wears a lot better.

Cheers,

Jeff

Carats have a side table and armrests on the front seats. That van in the ad is the lowly base model, 90/91. Odd configuration, some people like them

Cheap fabric on all seats, rubber carpet, front wing windows that don't open, no tach, no front armrests, metal dash, all vinyl interior panels, fewer interior lights, black painted metal bumpers

Rear facing jumpseats, wired for aux battery under driver seat. Many had PW, PM, PDL, A/C, CC Some were Syncro. I only recall white and silver exterior colors.
