Thanks, MisterZ. So yellow plates mean New South Wales vehicle, when in Australia? @ tore-40: The myRTA says: Could this mean a modified Delivery van? -- Last edit: 2016-01-23 07:07:01 |

Makes some sense. It's a Sopru camper conversion (sold by VW as original VW campers, Cruiser II or Adventurer) and would be based on a cheaper model (less items to remove, I guess, close to none) so still registered as when it was first assembled. For the registration, it wouldn't be the first time details were wrong. |

Sopru conversion indeed, but without the front roof rack. @ tore-40: The sales name of these vans was apparently just Campmobile (with Cruser II and Adventurer submodels indeed), i.e. without any reference to Sopru in the documents except in the small notes in the last page of the brochures. Of course, I'd like to find at least another brochure or ad to be sure of it, but that would then be similar to what was made with the US Westfalia versions... CKD + conversion can indeed be seen as an Australian production. But is "made for Australia" relevant? Maybe yes if only sold in the island continent: no such Kombis in New Zeland? ⇒ 1975 Volkswagen Campobile (Model origin: , built in: , made for: ![[Image: AUS.png]](/res/countries/AUS.png "AUS.png") )?If that's Ok, I'll change the 2 other Sopru vans present in the IMCDb accordingly. |

Origin and built in should suffice? Another issue is this one is verified as based on a panel/delivery van, and the other two listed as Kombis. This could mean they were all actually based on a cheaper van. But listing as a VW Campmobile regardless of origin, could be closer to the sales name, as they were sold converted by VW. |

Campmobile is more than just "closer to their sales name": it was their accurate sales name, they were directly integrated that way into the van line by VW. Cf. the brochure already linked. |
