Yes, it was but the photo must have been licensed or something since it vanished. Here's a Snip of the same photo so there should be no issue with it.

Moderator note:
It vanishes because it isn't a T3, or in a liberal way that we've let slide by, a Bus/Van

maybe said moderator should've noticed it was the rear of a Typ25 on top of a Caddy....

I think I said the same thing earlier... I'd be fine with that one if they'd just done the headlights in a way that matched. The square top corners ruin the whole design of the entire van and make it go from a bold design choice to a hack job. Doh!

Agreed - the Splittie type windows are a nice touch too.

while it's almost admirable to come up with your own DIY solution.
adapting this nylon tent wasn't quite it.

all of the work of replacing your top.
Saving $300
but still having it not quite right
priceless.

There are two ways to look at this. Both cause physical pain.

^^^ Just like the silver one! Pritschenwagen lockers and probably a 2.1 auto?

Very niche but there is a business opportunity there (let's be realistic, no-one gets off the planet alive)

Didn't know it was a Single cab until I saw the door in the center. I was wondering where the slider was. The mobile.de ad says it's a 37kW motor (50hp diesel?) I guess since you're gone, there isn't a need to get you in the ground any time soon.

One of the few good design features of the Vanagon is that it looks good. Kill that, and you kill das auto.

Depends on the weather-- last one might have gone "long" hence the lack of use lately.

Looking at this van is sort of like running into that ex-girlfriend that used to be super hot, but has gained a ton of weight.

You can still see the thin person in there peeking out at you.
I know you're under there, you sweet TriStar!
