In this fascinating and engrossing book, VW expert Richard Copping
covers the complete history of the first generation VW Transporter
or 'Camper', probably the most famous commercial and leisure van of
all time. Beginning with the prototype vehicles produced in 1949,
the author covers the development of the innovative but utilitarian
Kombi and the more upmarket Micro Bus, followed by the De Luxe
Micro Bus, the Ambulance and the Pick-up. He covers the highlights
of each vehicle and analyses the success of the range as a whole.
The book covers the revamped model line from 1955, when the success
of the VW Transporter called for the building of a whole new
factory in Hanover. At this time, due to popular demand, Volkswagen
authorised a whole series of coach built variations on the
Transporter theme with vehicles as diverse as mobile shops,
refrigerated vans and police mobile offices. The author also covers
the revised model introduced in 1963 with its more powerful engine
and revised tailgate and rear window as well as the ongoing success
of the model in the United States. By the time German production
ended in July 1967, over 1.8 million split-screen, first generation
Transporters had been built.
