Our Story

The VW Vanagon, produced from 1980 to 1991, represents one of the most beloved vehicles in automotive history. Known as the T3 in Europe and the Vanagon in North America, these versatile vans have carried families, adventurers, and dreamers across every continent.

As these vehicles age, the need for shared knowledge becomes ever more important. Many original dealerships have closed, factory parts are increasingly rare, and the expertise to maintain these vehicles is concentrated within the enthusiast community.

Vanagon.com exists to preserve and share this knowledge. Whether you're a first-time owner or a veteran with decades of experience, we hope you'll find value in our resources and consider contributing your own knowledge to help others.
