Vanagonites:

In two articles in Autocar, dated 8/6/86, and 10/7/87, plus an article
in the VW Motoring, dated Dec. 1988, the Vanagon is reported to have, as
an option, a 2109cc engine with 10.1 to 1 compression ration, Bosch fuel
injection, premium fuel required engine that generates 112 hp.  The 1st
Autocar article states that the engine generates 117 ftlbs of torque at
3200 rpm, while the second attributes it as having 128 ftlbs at 2800 rpm.

The two Autocar article were reviewing Syncro Caravelles and the other
one the Vanagon in general.  The pictures in the Autocar articles have
the slider on the left and the driver on the right.
