You are joking, I hope. There are lots of original factory Syncro
Westys, full kitchen P27 models. AFAIK, every year Syncros were offered
here they were offered in full Westy as well as passenger types. Some
years had additional offerings, like the 86/87 Wolfy Campers with
poptop, seating for 6, no kitchen.
