Side doors.

Post by Celticrsmith »

Just a quick one....I've seen a lot of caddys with 2 sliding doors. I thought they just had 1 sliding door. Anyone any idea what ratio the single to double sliding doors are and what's the difference? (Obviously two doors lol) but am I missing something here, spec wise?

Pretty sure they were an optional extra on any spec, unless there's a back seat, then they seem to have both by default. Ours has both. I don't know as I'd spend money to have an offside, but it makes a really handy step when you've got two ladders to fasten on the roof.
Sorry chaps, much as our 2k looks nice, I prefer my Mk2. ;)

the reason you have double door spec is so if you buy a van in europe your side door opens on the pavement side. So European caddys single side door is on the opposite side compared to a caddy from the uk. so hence there are different versions also there is the option to have double side doors. and even rarer is a caddy with no side doors which were available is europe. Reflex Auto Design have modfied a few uk spec caddys using european body sides with no side door.

All the exBG Maxis (I have 2) seem to have double doors - invaluable in my game (Property Maintenance).

All Maxis have 2 side doors.

Optional on SWB versions.
