Content description.....

The Volkswagen Transporter is one of the best loved and most recognisable motor vehicles of all time. The favourite transport of surfers everywhere, and the shape that can be found on a thousand greetings cards, album covers and keyrings, the Volkswagen Type 2 'bus' was launched to the world's media in 1949 and became the first of a new breed ~ the ancestor of today's people carrier. Available in various versions, including the Delivery Van, Pick-up and, of course, minibus, the Transporter also became popular with convertors who made them into camper vans for a newly motorised class of holidaymaker. Richard A. Copping describes the development, production and use of the classic first- and second-generation Transporter, which he complements with rare and colourful illustrations from archive brochures: a great evocation of the 1950s and '60s *** Post & Packing to UK addresses at £2.00 per single item, for multiple orders or shipping to overseas addresses please enquire.***
