How much longer is the extended wheelbase version? Weight? Driveability? How are the camper versions laid out? Anything similar to the Westy we have here in the states? I realize that I'll probably never get to see one of these other than pictures (are there any here in North America?) but my curiosity is going here... >>
was in europe wk before last, and got a few good pics of the LT series that i'll try to post to a site, soon.... first of all, they are really NOTHING like the vanagon, aside from the fact that they are boxy looking, and bear a vague semblance to a "Vanagon on steroids"....(and now the new LT's resemble vaguely a EV) they have a inline (diesel) engine mounted in the cab - between the drivers and passengers seat. i saw LT's ranging from LT-30, to LT-40. they make all kind of configurations, highroofs, panels, singlecab and doublecab pickups, etc... theres a mid '80's LT-35 motorhome for sale, in Burlington NJ. The guy who owns it has a vw shop called Volkstech. ive seen it before, at the Punch Buggy vw show at atco raceway, atco nj.. it was brought over here as a singlecab, and had the motorhome body built for it over here. i also saw a '85 LT-30 or 35 panelvan for sale, in Brussles belgium... i think they were asking the equivelant of 800 US dollars. i have pics of it...
