Matt,


There are a number of Vanagons (T3 Type 2s) on display at the Stiftung Auto
Museum on Diesel Strasse in WOB. There's a tri-star double cab pickup, an
"executive" model, as well as one of the last T3s to come off of the
assembly line. When I was there this past June, there were a couple of the
HO scale vanagons in the museum store (their selection changes from time to
time).

Here's the website:
