>T4... thats what vanagons are... Uh-uh! They are T3s (the so-called Eurovan is the T4). This is German vernacular, not official VWspeak. In England they call them Type 25 (this IS VWspeak). All VW type designations are actually 3-digit; for popular purposes we merely leave off the latter 2, which indicate subtype. So Type 25 in the so-called "Vanagon". The basic panelvan will be say 250; a GL say 251; pickup 253; Syncro panel 254 etc (I have invented the last digit on these... some listee(s) may know the actual designations. The Split will be Type 20, Bay Type 22 (or whatever). Porsche uses the same system, but that's not a coincidence. -- Andrew Grebneff 165 Evans St, Dunedin, New Zealand 64 (3) 473-8863 <andrew.grebneff@stonebow.otago.ac.nz> Fossil preparator Seashell, Macintosh & VW/Toyota van nut
