The luxurious Caravelle version was aimed at passenger transport with extra comfort and equipment. This specific example has a first-registration date of June 15, 1984 and combines classic early T3 characteristics with a distinctly pronounced 1980s appearance. The bus is registered in Belgium and is currently located in Enter, Netherlands. BODYWORK & PAINT: The body is finished in white and is in solid, sturdy condition. The sides feature a characteristic 1980s stripe in gold, copper, and brown tones. Around the bus are equipped with plastic spoiler and body cladding in Carat style, including lower front and side cladding. In keeping with the age of over forty years there are light signs of age and use as well as some cosmetic imperfections in the paint. A notable plus is the original factory steel sunroof. INTERIOR: The interior has been reupholstered, giving it a fresh and well-kept look. At the front the vehicle sits in comfortable Captain Seats with armrests. The entire interior complements the white exterior color and the classic styling.
