Please, folks, the Vanagon, as with ALL of VW's light vans (ie not
the LT) *IS* a Type 2 (Transporter)! The Type 2 IS the Transporter;
some versions are merely given a secondary name such as Kombi, Samba,
Vanagon or Caravelle. Despite the T3 not being MARKETED in USA as a
Type 2 or Transporter, it is nevertheless.

Type 2s:
T1 Split
t@ Bay
T3 "Vanagon"
T4 "Eurovan"
T5 to be
