Of course my reply clearly was to your speculation of why VW did not
import new ones from RSA.

There is no prohibition on individuals importing RHD vehicles as long as
a bunch of rules are complied with. Many people have done it with the
help of a Registered Importer. Never heard of anyone doing it with a RSA
"Vanagon" and they don't appear on the FEDs list of eligable vehicles.
Because of crash testing requirements it seems unlikely to be straight
forward.
