I am selling my 1975 Volkswagen Riviera Camper Bus. I have personally owned this bus for twenty plus years. It has always been garaged and well maintained. I live in the high desert of Oregon which only gets 9-11 inches of rain averaged per year. It has an original 1800 cc fuel injected motor (VW first year of EFI for the bus). The odometer shows 83,850. Probably 183,850. I have put 50,000 plus miles on since owning it. It has been repainted the original orange and white and was reupholstered 10 years ago. I had them wrap the foam from the cushions in waterproof material and the upholstery is zippered to be able to remove the foam and clean the upholstery if needed. I had a new upgraded 4 speed manual transmission installed professionally at the beginning of the year at a cost of $2000 plus. Since my ownership of this van I have also had the engine professionally rebuilt. There are zero mechanical issues that I am aware of. This bus starts and runs like a new 2013 VW. All the camping equipment works great. The sink has an electrical pump or can be done manually as well. The refrigerator is an icebox and is well insulated. Propane is piped under the jump seat for easy cook top use. Headliner is impeccable, and so is the dashboard. Pop top fiberglass is excellent, as well as the canvas and screens. Minor tears in the screens have been patched. The tent that connects to the bus was included when I purchased the van and comes with the instructions. This tent can be a stand alone tent, but was made to fit right along side the bus and attaches to the bus when the side slider door is open. Like the Riviera pop top both the canvas and screens of the tent are in excellent condition. The bus has never been in an accident as far as I am aware of. The body is extremely straight and well preserved. The few issues the bus has are as follows. Very very small oil leak. I have yet to replace the original captains chairs. There are a few lighter scratches on the exterior paint. The exterior body is a true survivor with very minimal surface rust. It has one small issue of bubbling under the rear bumper. Floor pans are good with some surface rust and a very small issue on the drivers side floor pan. In over twenty years this bus has only let me down once when the original transmission failed. It has been a great reliable van for myself and my family, in both transportation and camping. I would not hesitate to drive it across the country. I always get tons of compliments of those passing by and will hate to see it go. Overall this Volkswagen is a 9+ out of 10. Also included are 4 like hanhook studded snow tires mounted on rims. Happy bidding!!!!

Skoda unveils Volkswagen Up!-based Citigo
Tue, 27 Sep 2011This is the all-new Skoda Citigo, and if you're thinking that it looks rather familiar, that's because its Volkswagen-badged kin recently debuted at the 2011 Frankfurt Motor Show. That's right, the long-rumored Skoda version of Volkswagen's new Up! city car has finally arrived.
Buyers will have a choice of two 1.0-liter three-cylinder engines - one with 59 horsepower, the other with a 74 hp and a blistering 106 mph top speed - both mated to a five-speed manual transmission. Powerful they are not, but these three-bangers should prove to be extremely efficient, with Skoda quoting fuel economy numbers of 62.8 and 60.1 miles per gallon, respectively (on the European cycle).
Being a Skoda, the Citigo will go on sale in its home market of the Czech Republic this fall, with the rest of Europe getting the car next summer. Follow the jump for Skoda's official release.
