Double hmmmmm??  The 1980 brochure describes the colors for the plain Vanagon,
Vanagon Camper, and Vanagon L Camper as: Medium Blue, Assuan Brown, or Ivory.
It appears from the brochure that the only two tone 1980 Vanagons were the
non-Camper Vanagon L.  This being the 1st year for the Vanagon, I imagine the
brochure went to print before a lot of things were settled.  I would guess
that the two-tone paint was offered as an option on the basic Vanagon model.
