there are two Porsche powered vanagons that I know of in Victoria. Both
syncros, one is a white westy with oversize wheels and a big box
airconditioner in the luggage rack and the other is a gold coloured
passenger van. I have had an up close (and under!) look at the latter and
the heat arrangement is via an oil-water heat exchanger mounted under the
van on the sliding door side. Russell Sherman at Autospiel(here in
Victoria) was involved with the mechanics of this van (rebuilding gearboxes
and more), and he took me along for a ride when he was working on the
beast. It sure did move nicely and the sound it made...!
