Vanagons are the Chevies and Fords of that continent. They usually got very utilitarian interiors and no power Case in point? My 1989 16" Syncro Double Cab has the cheap vinyl upholstery similar to the early US vans. The material is slightly better. No armrests. No padding on the dash. I have the round headlights with the city lights instead of front parking lights. The damned things are so basic that there isn't even any wiring for radio. There's no hole for an antenna. And there are no speakers in the door panels. Oh yeah, no carpets -- just rubber mats. I love it.
