1967 Early bay - is this rare?

[baydreamer2]

Hi all. Owned an 1968 early bay back in 2008, always missed it. Recently aquired this nice bus, it was registered in the UK in Dec '67 and is left hand drive. I was told that the reason it was LHD was because vw were yet to build RHD bays. I do remember when the Audi TT first came out that it was LHD only.

Please let me know your thoughts.

Nice ride - interesting to hear what the good peeps of the forum have to say

I think you've been misinformed, VW started production of LHD and RHD buses at the same time.
For example, 67panel on here has an August 1967 build date RHD panel van.

Don’t worry yourself too much about that bollocks, that is a cracking looking van .

Very nice looking van I thought my eyes were deceiving me but there appears to be no fresh air grille on the front panel
