interesting.
I like stripper models.
Don' see many of them.
I once had a bare bones Renault 5 aka Le Car. .
seat back angles didn't adjust,
no vent windows.
rubber mats,
never had a radio in it.
Went real good though ..named it Zippy.

now you're gonna ruin the purity of it with a tach ! ...lol.

how many vanagons  ya got ?
I'm at 13 ...two personal, 5 parts vans and 6 seller vans.
what fun.
Scott

Not sure if this is true for all of them. This '85 Westy Weekender is the
most stripped version I have ever seen. No swivels. Didn't even have a radio
or antenna.
