I dunno, the diesel Vanagon peaked at 70bhp, in an almost 15 foot long breadbox.

Bob Hoover (not that Bob Hoover, the VW guy) said the diesel Vanagon was the 
only thing slower than his split window 60's vintage VW bus. The '82-'83 
non-turbo was listed as 0-60 in 41 seconds which is apparently the slowest they 
ever were...

That is still a very spirited driving car versus what my mother bought in 
1964.
A Morris Oxford Traveller (estate) diesel. Dark green with red leather 
interior.
See Oxford VI on http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Morris_Oxford
Imaging going on a vacation fully packed to the Swiss Alps.
My dad had a Fiat 2300S coupe at the time, that car would have been more fun 
on that trip.
