VW Camper van - Xileno {P}

I was going to put this in the Unusual Sightings thread, but they tend not to create much response.
Anyway on my way through Bath this morning I followed a brand new '05' reg VW camper van. Nothing unusal in that you may think, bit it wasn't a current model, it was one of the old versions circa 1978. As I drove past I managed to get a closer look, it was on hire from a company near Bristol.

I had no idea these were still made. Presumably in Brazil?
Any ideas on this? I wonder how much they cost.
