Someone in Eastern Ontario has a dark blue Vanagon. 1989?) (automatic, ac) with 2 sliding doors. I saw this Vanagon at the Embrun Volkswagen show 2 years ago.

At BusFusion in Almonte this year there was a Eurovan (1992?) with 2 sliding doors. The owner lives in Montreal.

The reason it had caught my eye was the fact that it was a dual-slider, sliding doors on both sides.  And to boot it was an 11 (or 12) passenger model.  I can't imagine that it would have been too comfortable for the people who had to climb in the back, but think of the road trips!
