Content-Type: text/plain; charset=us-ascii

I was down in Cancun Mex. last year and could not help
to notice all the T2 VW busses in use and on the road.
 They are the same as on the fine brochure.  Thanks
for scanning all those.
Yeah its a 1970's vintage Type 2 but with a water
cooled power plant with a big, REALY BIG radiator on
the nose.  They appeared to also have A/C since it was
pretty swampy hot and most of these Caravelles had the
windows rolled up in traffic.  I did not see any
campers, but alot of Caravelles and Panels. I wanted
to stop one of these delivery/taxi drivers and ask
them to look in the boot and check out the engine.
Probably a Golf "eurospec"?
Does anyone know or can translate the brochure on what
is the powerplant in these Mexi-Caravelles.

Thanks
Joel
