From the Club VeeDub Sydney Nov 2012 magazine (pages 30 to 33)
https://www.clubvw.org.au/.../2012/2012-11_November.pdf From thesamba forum; https://www.thesamba.com/.../3_76_campmobile_australia.php This has a copy of a 1976 Owners Manual – including a fuel log for a trip across the Nullarbor ! I am just curious if there is any more definitive history of E.Sopru & Co Pty Ltd - particularly from the early 1970’s.

Thanks Mr Beckstar - Yes the Sopru facebook group has some great photos - A few months ago I came across this post from 2019 - indicating recognition from VW Australia for E Sopru's production of Campmobiles - I guess they made quite a few during their time in business !! https://www.facebook.com/groups/17793322...933493615/

This is from Wheels Magazine April 1976 - listing the companies that did camper conversions in Australia at the time - with prices for the base vehicle and the conversions.
For the Sopru VW conversion Models, the listed price was.. Basic model $1360, Traveler $1962, Deluxe $2,341 and the Wanderer $2380 (with the fixed fiberglass high roof)
