That missing lug is a dealbreaker.

Proving yet again that the real Center of the Universe looks, smells, and tastes exactly like a Vanagon, here one shows up at dead-center of perhaps 1985’s greatest pop song:

On tonight's Midsummer Murders episode, "The Wolf Hunter of Little Worthy," a couple of main characters are glamping in their Holdsworth version of a T3.
This could have been the very van they used.

Too Catch a Smuggler on National Georaphic channel had an episode where they pull a Canadian woman and her little dogs in her Vanagon into secondary for a more thorough search of her Vanagon. Nothing was found and she was given entry to the USA.
Unfortunately I didn't have access to my phone or the episode season numbers.

As seen in New York Times media today. These people are trying to evacuate from Gaza. I'm always sorry to see people being displaced. The T3 is doing its job.

On the Knowledge Network here in BC a documentary called "Murder in the Pacific" about the 1985 bombing/sinking of the Rainbow Warrior, GreenPeace's ship used to protest whaling and French nuclear bomb tests.
The ship was bombed in Auckland harbor and one shipmate died.
https://www.knowledge.ca/program/murder-pacific
In part two of the show at 12 minutes a reenactment of suspicious activity shows a late model white Westy camper with blue stripes. The camper was used by a couple who had rented it from a RV rental place, shown at 13 minutes where there are Vanagon and LT campers along with what appear to be either Mitsubishi Delica / Nissan Homy / or Isuzu Fargo campers (which is what the couple actually rented; there's a good picture of the van but I can't quite tell which model).
Unfortunately I don't know how to grab images off tv to post here.

If I'm quick enough I get a photo of the screen and proceed accordingly. Ya gotta be quick.

Saw a T3 being used as an ambulance ten seconds into this news report. Good to see it being used to save lives is such a tragic situation.

Here's a snap from the same source... T3 performing as ambulance/transport in Gaza ~2023-10-17:
"A Palestinian van carrying a family and their belongings arrives at the Rafah refugee camp, in the southern of Gaza Strip on Octobers 15, 2023":
Both of the above vehicles share the same logo on their front doors.
"Charred vehicles in front of the Ahli Arab hospital in Gaza on October 18, 2023, the day after a deadly strike":
