If you ask me, the Vito Marco Polo is a far more interesting vehicle;
the culmination of Westfalia and VW (Eurovan) engineering.

The sprinter wouldn't fit in my garage, and is (although larger) a more
cumbersome daily driver. The Marco Polo is more in line with our typical
Westfalia Vanagons (IMHO).

Some additional research found MB stating the following in regard to the
James Cook Sprinter:
"Incorporating numerous clever details from Westfalia, the camper van
specialists..." <snip>

Ahhh... Music to my ears.  So the conversion will be done by our pals,

This looks like a cool van....
