<< I have recently acquired a 1989 "Caravelle Carat" (light yellow with black
trim). It was special order into the Vancouver BC area. It is similar to the
7 pass. Wolfsburg models I have seen except instead of 2 rear facing jump
seats it has 6 high back captains chairs with the 2 center ones swiveling a
full 360 & the rear 2 recline fully (flat). There are storage bins down both
sides (from the rear seats back) directional lighting, a pull out table, ful
A/C, PW & cruise, "jail bars" in the rear window, factory alloy rims & body
cladding around the waist line. Q1. Was this model available in the USA ? is
anyone else in Canada in possession of one ? I have not seen another except
mentioned in a South African VW brochure. Q2 What is an Adventure wagen ? I
have seen mention of this twice.  Thankyou !

you have an european market model.  was it repainted??  i have a UK brochure,
with a yellow caravelle in it..  that seating arrangement was offered on some
european carat models, but never offered in north america. Did the headrests
have padded inserts?

an Adventurewagen is a US camper conversion done in Ft Bragg , Ca.  it has a
fixed fiberglass highroof.
