I had some pics of both, I'll try to find them. Airbagged from the factory, 
it's pretty cool.

Hell, I would even like to see the Citroen.  Best example of freaky French 
engineering in the world.

Both actual sportsmobiles (known, stock originals) I've seen and touched also 
have the long drivers side window configuration and a pop top, as well as white 
laminate on the interior panels, not dark panels like that one looks to have. 
To work on a nice stock example of one, to me, was really a treat. Same guy has 
a cool Citreon. He's not a show goer, keeps to himself. Wish he was, you guys 
would love his bus.

Panels were available without the side vents.  Think there is an M code for it 
and there are some threads on the samba about it.  That said; it is very 
unusual to see a panel witout the vents.

As far as I know, sportsmobiles were converted panels.  But I can't say that 
with 100%.  I agree that this looks like a kombi.  However, I don't think a 67 
panel wouldn't have the side vents.  I don't know when that change came about.

Sportsmobiles were converted panels, This one doesn't have the panel vents, 
plus those aren't sportmobile side windows. This looks like a kombi that 
someone has partially installed a sportsmobile interior in.

   Oh Ok, I just read the rest of your letter, about the Sportsmobile. I had a 
looong day. I'm not quite firing on all four, but I'll see what I can find.

Any body on the list know there split bus camper conversions?  There is a good 
break down on theSamba but it isn't complete on some of the lower volume 
conversions.  

Here is a classified ad. Kinda wonder why the seller thinks this is a 
sportsmobile??
