Euro vanagons continued with round headlights I believe,
and did not switch over to rectangulars in 86 as North American models do.
The don't drive on the right in most of Europe , so steering wheel on
the left side is correct.
In the UK they still drive on 'the wrong' side of the road of course.
Unless someone wants a goofy looking german ambulance Vanagon ..
I don't see any reason to want this.
a good US model 87 is a fine version of Vanagon ..
my favorite year even .
I do like Bring a Trailer though..and the odd models that show up there.
I have a few oldies and unusual models for sale that I'd like to see
show up there even.
I gotta get 'em on CL and soforth first though.
