This VW Transporter is in beautiful original condition. It turns on a dime, is a pleasure to drive and has many years remaining of solid performance and practical utility. It's a highly desirable and hard to find model even in Europe. There is ample loading access on three sides, a roof rack, a warning light system and a siren that can be used at events and off public roads. As a business delivery and advertising van, it's in a class of its own. LT stands for "Leicht-Transporter", Light-Transporter. It was never exported by VW to the US due to its commercial rating. This particular van has a very clean interior with factory assembly line code tags, VIN plates, service placards and original owners manual map all still in place. It was always babied and meticulously maintained by the Rauenberg Fire Department in Baden-Württemberg, Germany and has barely been used since arriving in the US. There have never been animals or smokers in this van and it has only been cleaned with unscented cleaning products, water and HEPA vacs. It is a very clean vehicle. The second owner shipped this Transporter from Germany then was unable to register it due to California non-compliance with EPA regulations. This van easily can be registered in almost any other state including Arizona, Nevada, Oregon and Washington which follow US DOT/EPA regulation that allows carbureted vehicles manufactured over 20 years ago.
