In Germany there seems to be a whole business going on shipping
busses (and cars) abroad. Both whole VW T3's have become
more expensive over the past decade. (Assuming comparable shape),
and parts more rare.

Bringing a German car and registering it in Spain, or Italy is much easier
nowdays than it was before EU broke up protectionistic national government
rules.

Last year I was parts hunting for my Westy in Germany, and after driving
around much of the Munich area I finally spotted two promising looking
parts vans at a wrecker. I went in and was greeted by half a dozen
guys from Africa. They were in Germany buying T3's and parts. Stuffed
the vans full of them and shipped all back to Africa. Didn't want to sell
anything to me.

who did it for me (now sadly retired) used to get the parts in Germany and
told me that they were being cleaned out by Russian buyers and that he
couldn't find them at a reasonable price anymore ---
