1974 Autovilla Extract
For the Autovilla Enthusiasts, take a look at this extract below. I've never seen this one before.
Take a look carefully at the first picture, there are a number of very strange differences I've never seen on one before.
Lets see what you guys can find?

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
Large window behind driver and no sparewheel in front looks like most obvious difference in first picture.
Cooling air intakes- looks like louvres in the lower rear side-aluminium panel.

Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
Air intakes and middle louvre like Dawie said.
The numberplate on the nose section and not the bumper. Mabey the brown color on the front bottom of the camper. Think it was normally white.

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
Hubcaps are standard (on the top pic) - not Autovilla .....
I reckon this must have been Jurgen's prototype model

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
Also the cover over the fridge louvres, and the Autovilla decal above the number plate. I can't see clearly, but it looks like the wing mirror arms are also different.
Very interesting Sean.
I agree with jolas, must have been a protoype.

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
That's about what I spotted too. Would be interesting to know if there are any on the road like this one.

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract / Strange Autovilla's
Take a look at this Autovilla below, another strange configuration. Looks something in-between a 75 and 76 model.

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
Sean, who do you use to rebuild your Engines? Or do you do them yourself?

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
I do some myself for slow going projects, but otherwise I use Andreno Motors in Villiersdorp for engines and gearboxes for all my regularly used busses. They keep engines in stock, so if I need a motor quick, I just go exchange one.

Re: 1974 Autovilla Extract
Hi all - new to this forum. I'm looking for an early 70's Autovilla - the one without the "over-the-roof" extension. I've explored the for sale board, but can't find any. Please contact me on this forum or 0731717507, if you know of one for sale. Cheers
