Hi Hugo, I bought a 1977 Westy from a couple in Vancouver (Tobin & Crista) in 1999. I rented a car tow trailer, drove up from Seattle, bought it, filled out some forms at the border, and brought it back with no hassles at all. I was even able to register it in WA easily. Now of course, this was before the days of "homeland security", so I don't know how things have changed. Overall, it was not a difficulty. You'll have to do your own research beforehand.., Good luck, Peter On Aug 22, 2008, at 7:17 AM, Hugo Varotto <vanagon@VAROTTO.ORG> wrote: > Hello, > > first post here :-) I'm currently a Eurovan Weekender owner who's > looking to get into the Vanagon world (Syncro most specifically).
