Today I was allowed to handle the pre-production sample illustrated above. Fortunately, the ribs on the roof are not as bold as they appear on the photo - but they should not be there at all... Rivets have not been added to the tools, yet.
Three of the
five door variants will be run. There will be one of the wooden door variants, I think the one with eight rows of louvres (but not the one with eleven rows of louvres), the steel door, as on the sample above, and the unvented wooden door introduced late in the 1970s, with the mid-height cross member (but not the early solid wooden door without the mid-height cross member).
My general impression was very positive. This wagon is destined to sell very quickly!
