Model history:

A success story of a special kind was written by the VW bus, also known as the "Bulli". On the technical basis of the Beetle, the first buses and vans of the T1 series rolled onto the road in 1950. With the changed requirements and times over the years, VW reacted in 1967 with a new generation of Bulli, called T2. Larger, with modernized lines, various technical improvements and a boxer engine enlarged to initially 1.6, later 1.7 and 1.8 and finally 2.0 liters, the new customer needs were met. The typical qualities of the VW bus remained unchanged. It continued to impress with its hard-wearing nature and versatility - no wonder that this second generation of Bulli was able to stay on the market for around 13 years.
