This van has been my baby for years, and now it is with a heavy heart that I must find her a great new home! Volkswagen only made the diesel version of this very popular camper for one year, so they are quite rare! The original stock engine was only 1.6 liters, and was woefully underpowered to run the vehicle. I have had a brand new 1.9 liter engine installed, and it has less than 2000 miles on it!!! It goes somewhat without saying that the attraction of the diesel engine is its ability to run on biodiesel, and the ease with which it could be converted to run on straight grease. The upgrade in power has really helped with speed on the highway and up steep grades. The engine has never smoked, it has no leaks, runs at just the right temp, and starts easily in the cold. Nearly all of the important mechanical components of the van have been replaced and upgraded. I have a pile of receipts from both myself and the previous owner, and the van has been recently serviced by the fine folks at Asheville Vee Dub here in North Carolina. They work exclusively on the repair and restoration of old Volkswagens, and really know their stuff. In all, it runs beautifully. In terms of the camping equipment, the stove and the sink work great, while the fridge has never functioned. All of the electrical stuff in the van has been fixed-sockets, lights, etc. There is an auxiliary battery installed under the front seat which allows you to run the electrical equipment while parked without draining the battery in the engine. This makes camping extremely comfortable and easy!! The pop-top is in decent shape-it is original, and has a few repaired tears. The mattresses are also original-they have some wear and tear but they’re completely comfortable and functional. The van is missing the front table that sits behind the driver’s seat, but the table that swings over the backseat is in great condition. The two front seats have a lot of wear in the upholstery, so I’ve covered the chairs with soft covers and I’ve always found it comfortable that way. If you’re interested in getting it back into mint condition, it would need a paint job, though the great news is that there is really no rust to speak of on the whole body of the vehicle. Rust is generally the kiss of death in these cars, so to have one with no rust is quite valuable. I have had some of the best times of my life in this van, with my boyfriend and his young son, on road trips, at festivals, camping, and just generally traveling together. It is very special to me, and I’ve made sure over the years that it’s gotten all of the attention it deserved. It is truly a rare find, and I hope that whomever drives away with it will feel the same way! So, without further ado, here’s the total rundown: -Brand new 1.9 liter Diesel Engine, less than 2000 miles!! -Brand new clutch, installed at the same time as the engine -4 Brand new tires, also less than 2000 miles -Radiator less than 3 years old -Alternator 1 year old -Brand new Starter -Stove and Sink run perfectly -Original stock radio with two old and two new speakers -GoWesty Auxiliary Battery Kit installed -Fully functional electrical equipment -Fully functional sink and stove -Pop-top in great working shape **I am willing to consider delivery on a case by case basis, with travel cost reimbursement!!** |

Rimac inks deal to purchase 55% of Bugatti from VW Group
Mon, Jul 5 2021ZAGREB, Croatia — Croatian electric supercar builder Rimac is taking over the iconic French manufacturer Bugatti in a deal that is reported to be worth millions of euros. Rimac said GermanyÂ’s Volkswagen Group, including the Porsche division — which owns a majority stake in Bugatti — plans to create a new joint venture. The new company will be called Bugatti-Rimac. Rimac Automobili announced Monday that it will be combining forces with Bugatti to “create a new automotive and technological powerhouse.” Rimac has progressed in 10 years from a one-man garage startup to a successful company that produces electric supercars. Mate Rimac, who founded the company in 2009, says the venture is an “exciting moment” and calls the combination of the companies “a perfect match for each other.” Porsche will own 45% of Bugatti-Rimac while Rimac Automobili will hold the remaining 55% stake, according to Croatian media reports. Financial details of the deal were not published. Bugattis will continue to be assembled in eastern France, where the company was established in 1909. The vehicles will use engines developed and made in Croatia. “In an industry evolving at ever-increasing speed, flexibility, innovation and sustainability remain at the very core of RimacÂ’s operations," the company said. “Uniting RimacÂ’s technical expertise and lean operations with BugattiÂ’s 110-year heritage of design and engineering prowess represents a fusion of leading automotive minds."

Volkswagen Group, BMW Z4 top Total Value Awards by Strategic Vision
Tue, 11 Dec 2012It was just nine months ago that Strategic Vision announced its 2011 Total Value Awards, but you don't have to wait until next year for the 2012 awards. The Volkswagen Group keeps its lead as the number one brand, with seven products taking top category spots: Golf, Jetta Wagon, CC, Eos and Audi A3 Wagon, Q5 and Q7. Strategic Vision says "true innovation" - "rich and impactful, intuitive, motivational, in-depth and is able to trigger description by the user in great specificity" - is the open secret of the brands with the strongest showings. Results are culled from 77,153 owners covering more than 350 new cars bought between September of 2011 and 2012 ranked in the Total Value Index (TVI).
Other notable winners are Hyundai-Kia following VW in the brand category and having the Hyundai Elantra and Kia Sorento among category winners, the BMW Z4 taking the premium roadster category and the highest overall score of any vehicle, the Chevrolet Volt continuing to gather silverware in the Special Category, nabbing the second-highest score of all and representative of "nearly perfect innovation," and Chrysler and Dodge being most improved.
