Alistair:

I disagree. Originally T3s were very popular outside the 1st world as delivery, repair, etc, vehicles. I remember them all over Crete in the late 80s. They were the last Type 2 that had clearance. Is South Africa in the 1st world?

[T4s and T5s are mostly 1st world, paved roads, although there sure are lots of them in Turkey. And you can buy them lots of places--for example, Peru: http://www.volkswagen-cv-la.com/region/latin/es/models/transporter.html Ooooo, a single-cab T5 with a TDI--or a double-cab: http://www.volkswagen-cv-la.com/region/latin/es/models/transporter/pritschenwagen.html] Can I have one, please, Mr VW?

Richard
