Hi fellow Latebayers, My name is Mark and I live in Sydney, Australia and I have purchased a 1979 Microbus back in 2015 after a 20 year lapse with no kombi. Previously in my younger days I have had a 1977 Microbus Deluxe and a 1989 Caravelle GL. It took me a good 12 months of searching to find my recent bus which I finally found up in northern NSW from a very nice chap who had all the receipts from work done over the years and was the second owner. My wife Debbie and I attend VW Kombi meetings and outings up and down the east coast and we are enjoying reliving our youth - meeting new people of all ages. I am looking forward to becoming part of this wonderful group. My first Kombi - 1977 Microbus Deluxe (photo taken in 1982) My current Kombi - 1979 Microbus
Nice van Mark. We also have an Aussie van which was originally a minibus on the Gold coast Noosa / Byron bay. You’re climate is soo much kinder to them. I still keep finding pockets of sand in the crevices
We should organise a techenders here just need to find a suitable camp and work field that's on private property
