The early EV's (up to '94 I think) were done with Westy conversions.  They
also used smaller engines and more trouble-prone transmissions AFAIK.  In
1999 the EV went to a "panel truck" side, which removed the rear window on
the driver's side.  A major aesthetic boo-boo IMO.

My wife and I wrestled with the idea of getting a '98 EV prior to getting
our Syncro.  Sitting in the EV is what caused my wife to have the epiphany
that opened up the possibility of getting a VW camper in the first place.
She was against the idea until she climbed up in there at the dealer's lot
and had a chance to enjoy the ambience.  :-)
