I always figured out DOKA was german for double cab, but someone pointed out
the one for sale was not a DOKA...so what makes it a DOKA?

H = Hanover
G = Graz

All Syncros were made in Austria.  So all Syncros will have a G before the
last six digits.

The 248 is the part that says that it is a DoKa.

I think this link might work for the red 88 Doka:

Nice . . . VIN is WV2VB0248JH037236, so the second V means Doka, correct?
But, is the H (Hanover) consistent with a syncro, for an 88?
