I'm just back from a month in Cyprus - my partner is Greek Cypriot - and was surprised by how few Kombi's (and aircooled VWs in general) I saw over there. I might have counted 4? and one Type 4 wagon.
It dawned on me that most of the original Cypriot Kombis are likely now in the UK, much like the 300+ original Australian ones that have been shipped over. Cyprus is RHD, and a very dry climate means that rust is minimal in Cypriot vehicles.
Cyprus (and Australia) wants its Kombis back!
