<< I saw one of these limited edition Multivan badged
Vanagons last week. This one was also a Westi.
I saw it in the Sacramento area.
I had never seen one before and was wondering if
someone just added the badge (apparently not) and
such. Appears I saw a rare one! But then again I >>
Jeff, you're jumpin the gun, again!! ;<) juss kiddin... ;<)
seriously, tho, what you saw was a '90-'91 Multivan. this model was only
made
2 yrs. This is basically the same thing as the '85-'87 Non-GL Camper
(oh,
no!! not that thread, again!!! ;<)
it is the poptop camper without stove/sink. it has the full length
sofabed,
cabinet in LR and fold out table from Left wall, as well as 2 theatre
style
folding jumpseats (like the Carat)
VW called it the Multivan, cuz they new how much it confused people
calling
those things "Non-GL Campers"......
good thing there wasn't a "Multivan Wolfsburg Edition"...... ;<)
(great...now i bet someone out there says they've got one... ;<)

Hey Jeff and chris,
the last limited edition I mentioned before was a european LHD version
only.
Equipped very similar as a Wolfsburg/Hannover Edition in US (as far as I
understood US Models), dark blue metallic or tornadored.
Made in 1992 as 2WD by Steyr in austria with TD or 95Hp petrol engine,
manual 5-speed only, no further options available, no pop up roof, no
cabinets.
Things are different all over the world, our Carat wasn't the same as
yours,
no folding jump seats, but 6 single seats.
And chris- we had Multivan Wolfsburgs over here, sold as "Whitestars" or
"Bluestars". So, you did win your bet, but I describe only continental
versions,
even the brits got models different from ours.
And to confuse us at the end- the really last T3 (Vanagons) sold here
were
the "Redstars", equipped like a last limited but TD powered only, the
last ones
have been delivered early 1993. And the German Bundespost has got
a lot of 57 HP 1.7l Diesel High-Roof panels, first registered in
1993/1994.
