I have practically the same model as the one in the German Ebay auction. The
only exception being mine is powered by factory turbodiesel. 1990 model.
Locking diffs front and rear. 6-passenger with bench seats in front.

The seats in mine are done in gray crossweave pattern vinyl. I believe the
vans which came to the US with the 2-person bench seats are the smooth look
brown vinyl like al the early non-GL vans. I have this dark brown seats in my
82 RHD pick-up. My 85 2wd doka has the seats like regular vans. After
comparing the seat attachment points, I feel the rear divider wall is
absolutely essential for safe use of these 2-person benches. But I must admit
that the convenience of the walkthrough interior far put weighs need to carry
an extra person in my case. I'll drive one of my buses for that.

Pmail me of you want me to take pics of the front benches.
