Vario Body Spares

Bericht door listerdiesel »

I've been looking out for some rear doors for our 1999 614D.

Standard items with windows, probably the same doors go back to the 608D series etc.

Not many breakers in the UK, are there any good sources in Europe?

One door is badly corroded INSIDE, which seems a bit odd.

If there was a commercial breaker/recycler in Holland/Germany whatever, we could arrange purchase and collect via our internet stationary engine colleagues.

inspite the immense popularity of the dudo series all over europe , the brains in stuttgard decided to divide and rule the market on medium vans /busses by producing a lot of differences in the same model , with the most killing joke a 508 vario that actually was a 407 in wolf-skin . so anyone that bought a 508 , was looking to get rid of it as fast as possible , the particular 609 was a good successor of the 508 , but the importer and the thought of the exporter decided to disappoint the loyal circle of users only to supply this van with a Heavy goods licence , so far the failed Daimler crysler monopoly on the light truck market . the competition was so happy to see the star diving in the mud , and in two or three years everyone bought a Iveco or other make. so actually the only hope is to find a ex army vehicle with good doors , and they were used all over europe by the US army , the only big client during the haydays of production. so sometimes a couple of vans show up in italy , or germany , anyway the production never matched the numbers of "309"chassis which also was in production for more than 25 years .
another issiu was ofcourse the environmental rules that made the OM 364 not an engine to build future models with , yours is a OM 366 I suppose ?
Oh lord won't you buy me...... en de toekomst mag wel wat moderner !
