J & R caters to a special market - they sell Vanagons that have been totally
gone through, prepped, and tightened.  In theory, the buyer is willing to
pay a premium because of their reputation for selling very nice, well
maintained vans.

I have seen several list members over the years buy Westies from them and
all reported nothing but good news.

The prices are absurd in any coast. Unfortunately, there are probably people
who will pay these prices.
