Welcome even though you joined before I did. T1n refers to the earlier models in North America 2002-2006. NCV3 refers to later models. There is a search button in the blue bar above for more info or http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Mercedes-Benz_Sprinter
First let me extend you a hale and hearty welcome to the forum.
T1N refers to earlier model year Sprinters eg. NAS aka NAFTA 2001 - 2006. NCV3 refers to NAS aka NAFTA MY 2007 and newer. The year ranges are different for Euro model Sprinters, but the model designations still apply.
You should browse through this link and some other links from the blue bar above.

If you live in North America your 2006 is a T1N.

Welcome! As above. Visual cues for the T1N are one long skinny HVAC intake in a separate panel between the hood (bonnet) and the windshield (windscreen). There may be vents in the sides of the fenders vic. headlights on later versions.
NCV3 models have two black HVAC intakes ON the hood and no spacer between the hood and windscreen. They never have fender vents.
There are several other cosmetic differences but the HVAC ducts are recognizeable at distance.

Also the plastic trim on the sides is an easy tell.

My quad friend is jealous of my T1N. He has partial use of his arms/hands and drives from his chair; he has a mobility Venture right now but is buying a Toyota soon. He would love to have a Sprinter, but it won't fit in his garage, and he doesn't like lifts to get in. However, I've had to help adjust his ramp several times, and he says the lifts are much more reliable.

Looked at a Sienna "Mobility" Saturday.... Don't need one but it was in the Toy store looking a new Siennas. Very clever design and engineering of the passenger second row seat so, that it about magically swivels; extends outboard; and, "kneels" to the ground to accept or discharge a disabled rider. They are going to sell a bunch of these vans. The seat looks like the regular Captain's Chair complete with leg rest. Very POSH!
