I think that may not be a Carat, but instead an L version.

We bought a new '91 L in Hawaii in 1992, and that looks a lot like it.

Subject: 1990 Carat with Analogue Clock?
 
Hi all.

Saw a '90 Carat (or so ad says) for sale on CL. Vehicle being sold by
Messmer Motors in Tacoma WA.

From Wiki via Vanagonwiki: "For 1990 and 1991 model years, a "Carat" trim
level was available which included all available options "

In this image, is this OEM rubber carpet?

Maybe this bus was imported (used) from Germany or ? so that's why there's
an analogue clock where tach should be (?)

That is a clock right?

Was looking for Carat specific info but Vanagon.com resource seems to be
down.

Looks like an interesting ride. If it were rust free, I'd consider dealing
with a dealership.�  (not my first choice)
