It was a delivery van type, with sliding doors on both sides, and no seats on the inside (except for the front seats). It was a right-hand drive. I also remember that the surfing set (from an earlier stay in Japan about 7 years ago) had plenty of older type 2's. I don't think I ever saw a split or a westy. Whether this is proof that type 2's were imported into Japan (by VW) is debatable. At any rate, since insurance, registration and taxes go up exponentially as the car gets older, there are very few old cars of any type anywhere in Japan. -Jim macklow@sybase.com
