My guess was that they are referring to the Vanagon which was introduced in
England in 1979. If it's not that then it's the usual media making stuff up.

I'm a bit confused by this statement at the bottom of the article

*"P.S. The automotively minded will recall that the VW camper/minibus was
reintroduced in the United States around 1979, but it was a bust, mainly
because it was so underpowered."*
I'm not disputing that it's under powered but the rest cannot be an accurate
fact can it?
