I think the Transporter badge was used on South African Vanagons. I have a couple of those badges. John, if you have the transporter badge, I think there might be a connection with Unca Joel as that's where I got mine. I would trade one for a nice chrome and black Volkswagen badged as used on the back of lots of Vanagons including my diesel. Don't want want with the VW logo, I've got those.
