Vanagon_S’s Volkswagen Transporter
“Jagdwagen Syncro”

    • Currently 3.8/5 Stars.
     

Vanagon_S's 1989 Volkswagen Transporter

 

In 1988 the Volkswagen plant in Hannover had a special workshop called the KD-Werkstatt.

This is where Transporter customers could special order any Transporter to meet their specific needs.

The KD-workshop produced a handful of these specially equiped Syncro doublecabs called the "Jagdwagen".

The "Jagdwagen" in english means "Hunt car" . That is exactly what it is, a doublecab, with every option you would need to go hunting with safety and comfort in mind.

The most obvious accessory you notice is the exterior roll cage.  This is actually a brush gaurd to help navigate through densely forested areas.

The spare tire mounts in the bed, along with a Nato fuel can.

In 1988 this truck was partially assembled and shipped to Austria to have its Syncro components installed by Styer-Puch. Once completed it was sent back to Hannover for the "Jagdwagen" build.

This particular Jagdwagen was registered and used by Volkswagen for it's first three years of service.

Great looking Van, I'm looking for info to replicate in scale. Is there a website on the Construction of them? I've seen a few in Oregon and they have been well cared for.
