Hallo. Warum hat der Bully die Seitentüren links ?? Gruß
Hallo, wie hoch ist das Gutachten, wie wurde er tiefergelegt, gibt es Papiere dazu? Gruß R. Bauer
Hallo butze2, das Gutachten beläuft sich auf 60.000€, dieses datiert allerdings vor den umfangreichen Investitionen des jetzigen Besitzers (u.a. Motorrevision). Die Tieferlegung ist beim belgischen TÜV eingetragen. Beste Grüße - Kickdown Team
Technik: Der VW T1, genauer VW Typ 2 T1, auch Bulli genannt, ist ein Kleintransporter der Volkswagenwerk GmbH (ab 1960: AG). Der T1 war das erste Modell der VW-Bus-Reihe, deren Modelle offiziell VW Transporter und intern Typ 2 genannt werden. Nach dem VW Käfer, intern Typ 1, ist der VW-Bus die zweite Baureihe des VW-Werkes für die zivile Nutzung und wird bis heute als VW T7 produziert. Der Transporter wurde ab 1949 entwickelt und 1950 zur Marktreife gebracht. Der Wagen, der während seiner Bauzeit Marktführer war, gilt als ein Symbol des deutschen Wirtschaftswunders. Auf seiner Basis entstand eines der ersten Reisemobile. Im Werk Wolfsburg und im Volkswagenwerk Hannover (ab 1956) liefen insgesamt 1,8 Millionen T1 in verschiedenen Ausführungen vom Band. Mit Beginn der Produktion des Nachfolgemodells VW T2 im Werk Hannover endete 1967 die Fertigung des T1 in Deutschland. In Brasilien wurde er weiter bis 1976 gebaut. Ein im Unterschied zu den späteren Weiterentwicklungen des VW-Busses in seinem Retrodesign an die T1/T2-Modelle erinnernder VW Microbus wurde 2001 von Volkswagen als Konzeptfahrzeug präsentiert, erreichte aber nicht die Serienreife.
