Limited Vanagon Content!  Purists press delete NOW!

This is a British publication that a friend gave me a subscription to.  Page
18 of the May 2002 edition shows a "Brand New Campervan".  It looks great if
you like the late 70's style of bus.  The interior looks off white with a
thickly padded seat cushion that makes into the lower bed.  No shots of the
upper bunks area.  I interpret the ad to say the whole van and the camping
interior is brand new.

Taken word for word from Volk World;>>>

Here's the lasted offering from Beetles (UK), the Rio Campervan.  The
recently launched Rio conversion is a  UK built interior that's designed to
comfortably house two people with the option to fit another two adults or
children on bunks in the large side-opening roof.  These conversions also
come with a hi-tech independent petrol heating system that is
thermostatically controlled weather the engine is running or not.  The
really crazy part is that you can remotely operate the heater by dialing a
coded number from your phone.  This tele-heating means you can warm up your
Van before you even leave the house!  All this and you get the latest 1600cc
fuel injected engine that can be converted to run on LPG should you require.
Priced at L15,999 for a LHD or L16,999 (inc VAT) in RHD, these brand new
traditional Vans are a great value for the money.  Also available are the
air-cooled Panel Vans for just L9999 plus VAT (or L10,999 in RHD) and
people-carriers with eight seats for L12,995 inc VAT (L13,995 in RHD)  To
order your built to spec brand new Campervan, call 01454 228999  >>End of
article from Volk World.<<

Sorry I can't include the pictures but the magazine should be available at
newsstands in the US.   If you find the mag, check out the Vanagon being
car-jacked on page 12.  (Mandatory Vanagon Content)  The classified section
is also drool inducing.

 I want the tele-heater option for the BA-6 in my Westy!
