Try this site, Peter:

It's fun and you can refine your search down to get only T-3s of the proper style and correct age
to be imported easier, i.e. 25 years or older.

I hear you Karl.

Prices "over there" (once I said "back home" realizing I am now a US� CITIZEN - OOPS) seem to be consistently higher and full of the good old IRON WORM due to the high level of rain and humility.
My 91 renovation has no rust anywhere and I think would serve us well on our longish jaunts.

I have a brother in Cevera del Maestre just about 125 miles from the Med and relatives in Scotland.� Quite a spread of miles betwixt the buggers.� So we shall see.

Keep smiling.� If this comes to all work out - maybe special prices will be offered to careful Vanagon users of this esteemed group.
