dear importer
ben is right
our van and it is the europeon model ... i think destined for holland when
first made ...
but available in germany and great Britain ...
and they have lots of parts in the uk for our van
though i dont have the link handy at this moment there is a shop in the uk
with a barn full of vanagons for sale all like mine
try this one *http://tinyurl.com/yc4aecn *ours is white instead of red *
*very easy to import to the usa like ben says *
*one interesting note is that i did not import it ... *
*the PO did* *and my wife and i often remark to one another that we did a
Van rescue *
*(they spoke german and my ohio born wife knows enough to know they were not
being freindly) *

*the only part he mentioned that was slightly incorrect is the 51state stuff
:) ...
Canada is a free country with a Confederation run by a Parliamentary
Constitutional Monarchy and has been operating as such since
1982 under the present configuration and since 1867 under the direct control
of the Monarchy *
*and interestingly enough oil imports from canada to the usa have been
growing epodentially since about 1975 *
*and that my friends is how one can so easily stray into friday topics on a
tuesday morning *
*we love our van .... even when it performs in a less than wonderful way ...
as it is want to
1989 ... is 20 years old already :)
yours
