The earliest watercooled Vanagon that I am personally aware of is one
belonging to a Canadian customer of mine, which was, according to him, both
manufactured AND titled in late 1982(!!). I recall him saying that there
were some special circumstances regarding its turning up in Canada in '82;
it was specially imported from Germany by VW of Canada, or a dealer, or
something like that.
