Welcome Jon,

Entfernung Breite

lol, Translatoren bringen es ans Tageslicht, habe mich mal gefragt ob "Far Distance" nicht die schlauere Namenswahl gewesen wäre.
Oder wollte Karmannn wirklich auf die Breite der Autos hinweisen?

Was the name a misunderstanding by Karmann? Did they really mean the width of the car? Or a campervan to reach far distanced places?

AutoVillas are ultrarare, I never saw a real one in ten years time I´am using the regular Distance Wides.
I´ve been told they made 30 pieces only.
I only know about two owners of the six-berth versions called "Sechsschläfer" in this newsgroup.
They have the long 3.65m wheelbase aswell.

But, do you really use the balcony often? In rain.. and can one fold it together when wet?

See http://www.lt1-forum.de/ for manuals on repair and maintanance, then follow the link to wiki.

Hallo
And welcome to the LT friends.

[KylieKamper87]

Thank you

I am using google translate so sorry for for bad translation.

The balcony is waterproof and has a separate door so can be used in the rain.

We know this is number nineteen but we don't know anymore history about the autovillas


Danke

Ich bin mit Google Translate so leid für schlechte Übersetzung.

Der Balkon ist wasserdicht und hat eine separate Tür, so kann in der regen verwendet werden.

Es gibt mehr Fotos unter:

Wir wissen dies, ist die Nummer neunzehn, aber wir wissen nicht, mehr über die Geschichte autovillas

Hi Jon,
WOW, cool Karmann.
I was joking about Karmanns choice of the name, not about the translation itself. Wide v/s Far.


Your body in its finelined alloy is made from the same material as regular Distance Wides made in 93-95.

The two window front is typical for the later 96 Distance wide Gold and famous for not being waterproof, so always check the front of your luton.
The plastic turned yellow due to sunlight and some received retrofitted new painted plastic fronts by Karmann around 98. And by then they improved the window seals.

To compare, here is one pic with an earlier single window and the sidemarkers are are a bit higher:

These people used to work at the coachbuilders plant in Rheine and now run a service caring for our old ones.

Thanks for the information , that's a great help

Yes the front windows have been permanently sealed to try and keep water out.

It's a very comfortable van to use but a little slow !

Do you have two karmann distance wides?

Thanks

Hello Jon,

the picture was made in 2011 when I bought the 1996 Distance Wide Gold with 61.000 kms on the clock
The other was a 1992 and served well during our 9 years and 90.000 km / total approx. 220.000 and I sold it by then.


Yes, I did it again...

The 1G Engine was less dynamical compared to the silent intercooled ACL, I guess you have the ACL too?
Just used the car in the swiss mountains..http://lt-freunde.eu/forum/viewtopic.php?f=19&t=12609&sid=6b2bf1b5821e4b594d9cd218d332de37
My 5,70m short versions ran/run 120 kms both, but due to consumption I leave it at 95 km/h.

Hello
Very nice LT.
Ich kann leider nicht englich schreiben.

Ich hoffe du kommst mal rüber zu uns und stellst dich und deinen Lt mal vor.

[der Dritte]

Ich kann leider nicht englich schreiben.

Ist doch egal, schreib was du denkst und dann werfen wir das in den Google Translator, zu 95% wird das verständlich wenn auch zuweilen von komischen Formulierungen begleitet.
Und Unfug korrigiert dann Einer der Englisch kann.

LG
