Based on the Vin that Mr Yoshimoto has provided, it is most likely a South
African made Vanagon (P is 1993 model year).  I don't think these will be
readily available in the USA.  Off the top of my head, I'm not sure what FI
system is used on the SA Vanagons, K-Jet, L-Jet/Digijet or Digifant for that
matter.  Time to burrow into my references for an "edjumication".
