I have seen a very nice burgandy one at last years VW show in Port
Coquitlam.  I have photos of it on my web site at http://www.volkswagen.org
in the VW Show 98 section.

I have recently acquired a 1989 "Caravelle Carat" (light yellow with black
trim). It was special order into the Vancouver BC area. It is similar to
the 7 pass. Wolfsburg models I have seen except instead of 2 rear facing
jump seats it has 6 high back captains chairs with the 2 center ones
swiveling a full 360 & the rear 2 recline fully (flat). There are storage
bins down both sides (from the rear seats back) directional lighting, a
pull out table, ful A/C, PW & cruise, "jail bars" in the rear window,
factory alloy rims & body cladding around the waist line. Q1. Was this
model available in the USA ? is anyone else in Canada in possession of one
? I have not seen another except mentioned in a South African VW brochure.
Q2 What is an Adventure wagen ? I have seen mention of this twice.  Thankyou !
