Subject:Are they still making the bus/Vanagon anywhere these days?

Not!  The bodies (MGB, Midget and Triumph TR6) are/were a product of
the British Motor Industry Heritage Trust, which was a wholly owned
division of British Leyland which was subsequently bought and carved
up by BMW and VW t. It has since been spun off though I don't think
they still make the bodies.
