Presumably a '94 2.5 is still a T3 if it's South African - or am I way off the mark (not sure about the SA engine sizes apart from there being a 5-cylinder option). 

Any pics?......And was it you at Westonbirt - not too far from Glosta!

So far.................. This thread is piss poor !!!  Where the F**k are the other SA buses ????????? Com'on they're out there   ?????? These buses are soooooooo different from the european built T3s !! Nearly everything except the suspension is a complete redesign of an old 80's commercial vehicle bringing them well into the 90's !!  They even have a delay on the courtesy lights !!!!!!  Wink

ps. The electric windows are still crap tho !!!!LOL

pps. The sky is always blue over Glosta !!

OK here I am - 1995 2.6, Sapphire blue Microbus (late of Steve B and rustydubnuts) loads of history
and the silver one - ex-wagenwerks 1990 Microbus with badly installed EJ22 by T$R...getting better by degrees. Would like to know more about it's past 'cos I'm an anorak! Like where it was first registered...a long shot I know! The 2.6 was first reg. in Harare, Zimbabwe Shocked
 
Will someone please trim off all the "oh yeah, I've seen one once" and "my mate...blah blah"
This is supposed to be a roll call!!!
 
PS who's got the white '95 2.6 caravelle that was up on ebay a while back? No middle or rear seats, Recaros up front and 5-branch exhaust manifold allegedly. They sold off the anthracite refurbed starfish alloys recently too.

What's left that's still good? I'm sure we all get the twitch over the thought of a broken window or busted bit of trim...Shocked
Pop up some pics or list of parts?

Had the 2.6 that whose on ebay at my workshop for a while. It had an ECU and wiring fault which we sorted.
We also refer-bed the alloys for the then owner. Biggest pity about that van was that he sold the interior out of it to fit a camper interior.

They were bothe inline 4 engines.
I dont (cant remember) engine codes.
