1973+ (squared air intakes and rear lights). I don't know by whom was made the conversion to a motorhome. Maybe Australian? |

Is this made for Australia? Absence of sliding door on the left side indicates right hand drive version. |

Perhaps made in Australia (or South Africa as a RHD), because it's obviously not 100% identical with the German T2. The air-intake and the back lamps are typical T2b (1973+), but the front indicators and the bumpers are definetely from the T2a (1968-1972). I don't know which VW's were produced in Australia, but definetely the Beetle Typ 1 and the Golf I. |

I don't know, which company has made the camping-interior. It's not Westfalia, Karmann or Teca. |

This T2 with the 1973+ air intakes and rear lights, but with the 1968+ bumpers and front indicators is a 1972 model year. The T2 was called Kombi in Australia. |

Looks like a Devon Conversion: http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/78devon.php |

are you sure air intake and rear lights are 73+ , I think it's august 71 (MY 72 )with optional type 4 1700 engine , according bumper and front indicators are august 72 (MY73) |

reading what I was writing,my words were a little confuse , sorry.I want to explain "big" air in take is august 71+ ( because the optionnal type 4 engine, coming at this period, need more air for refreshing.In the same time come the big rear lights too.The bumpers shown and the low front indicators were replaced august 72 ( MY 73). But nothing change for the date,like we see it on the picture, the combi is also built between august 71 an just before august 72, so it's a 72 MY |

OK, nearly 3 years on... Yes this is a '72 model and all 72 were like this as philgood points out. The camper conversion was done by Sopru in South Australia based on that roof. Sopru were the official VW converters here in Australia. Westfalia vans only arrived here as personal imports. To answer Ingo. Type 1, Type 2, Type 3 and first generation Golf & Passat were made here or assembled from CKD kits. In fact VW Australia produced their own vehicle the Country Buggy. Since the 1977 model year all vehicles have been fully imported. |

Driven by the victims; Peter Falconio and Joanne Lees. According to the Northern Territory Police report, the couple bought the VW in Sydney and were using the vehicle to travel around Australia, on the morning after the murder, the Kombi was found about a kilometer from the scene in the scrub off the Stuart Highway. |

Australian Campmobile. Like in the USA (for the T2 vans converted by Westfalia), the Sopru name don't appear in the sales names. See the discussion here. |
