J & R caters to a special market - they sell = Vanagons that have been totally gone through, prepped, and = tightened.  In theory, the buyer is willing to pay a premium = because of their reputation for selling very nice, well maintained = vans.

I have seen several list members over the years buy = Westies from them and all reported nothing but good news.
