I spent a couple weeks in and around Rio and the east coast beaches abt 5
yrs ago and never saw a Vanagon at all...Not a one...Just a whole bunch of
old White 70's busses...Drum brakes, upright engines in either PU or 7 pass
style...Most filled with worker bees or family type groups and most in
pretty marginal shape at that. (((but every hovel had a satelite dish
though))) lots of old type 3 and Golf- Jetta looking cars with various
badges...polo, saviero, etc. Rented a good old fashioned dune buggy to roam
in.. kind of cool in a retro sort of way, but I was glad to get home and out
of the 3rd world and have a good steak. Daryl

There is a company in england using a loophole in their laws to bring them
in to there.  I am told that the price is very high and the paperwork is
very tricky.
