well, i seem to have a bit of a strange bus on my hands here:
i. e. sliding door on drivers side...
thought that maybe someone could tell me if it is a wolfsburg bus manufactured for UK/ SA market.....
oh, the vehicle manufacturers plate says VW wolfsburg.ect....
that's what i am asking, learned friend merlin

I've heard rumours of RHD RHS bay sliders being made for the UK market but that is as yet unconfirmed on my side.

I'l see what I can scrounge up for you.

Where did you get that info from?

I'm not too familiar with bay information plates, etc.

Any other info plates/stickers anywhere?

That info is off your chassis plate. It shows a VIN from 1971, and the heitz reference is the certification for the eberspacher petrol heater which was probably originally fitted in the lefthand side of the engine compartment.

Behind the driver's seat there should be another plate called the M-code plate, which will have a lot more info on options, original paint colours etc. If the plate's still there, give me all the numbers and I'll decode them for you.
