Given the age of the Vanagon, most likely they were either on
microfiche or on paper. Most of the paper books and 'fiches got tossed
as they moved to electronic. Probably there are copies kept in the
archives at Wolfsburg, but the VW dealership in Downtown USA that's
moved three times since the Vanagon was retired, don't count on it.
