G’day fellow Kombi lovers!
After ~8 years of Kombi withdrawal it appears to finally be time to get another Kombi. After getting to be the lucky 4th owner of the uncommon 1985 Country Homes conversion T3 Vanagon in the States from ~2012 - 2019 (sky blue, 4 speed manual with full solar system and engine fully rebuilt by Guinness Book of World Records title holding mechanic from Wagga Wagga, Washington; see attached photo) it turned out that selling was the most logical choice given the final hurdle encountered when working through the importation process. The new owner was stoked and refurbished the interior with all custom-made cabinetry, so at least it went to a good home. The tide has finally turned and now in a position to consider getting another Kombi here to replace.
Ideally looking for one with something unique/special about it. Has anyone seen the factory orange colored Kombi here in AUS? These were quite common in the States and always caught my eye (as an avid lover of all things orange) so this would be a bonus; however, the option of getting on sprayed to be whatever color is surely an option.
Is there a good website to look at for vintage Kombi vans for sale in AUS? Happy to venture outside of QLD for the right one.
Thanks heaps for any feedback and feel free to message me if keen to strike up a conversations
cheers,
