Proper brakes for the first time, the best performance yet -

Volkswagen Beetle (split screen) (1946 - 1953) (Classics Reviews)
In short, it was - and is - a legend. The story may have started when Adolf Hitler had the idea for the ‘Volkswagen’ (People’s Car), but the Beetle transcended this, and became a way of life for so many people. The Beetle was originally designed by Ferdinand Porsche designed it (who was 'influenced' by Tatra's Hans Ledwinka), for getting Germany mobile, but the war intervened, and that plan never got off the ground, although a few Beetles were built in 1938 and '39. -
Volkswagen Karmann-Ghia Type 34 (1962 - 1969) (Classics Reviews)
It was more comprehensively equipped than the Type 14, and offered a sliding steel sunroof as an option (a Volkswagen first). It was also the fastest car built by the company at the time. However, it was never a big seller, as it was not exported to the USA. Even when a 65bhp 1584cc was installed, along with front disc brakes, it wasn't really sporting enough for the money. -
Volkswagen 1500 and 1600 Type 3 (1961 - 1973) (Classics Reviews)
Volkswagen management was well aware that despite the Beetle's huge popularity, it was a situation that would not continue indefinitely. The obvious solution was to broaden the range, and offer faithful buyers a new, more upmarket product to trade up to when the time came. -

The interior quality is also excellent and provides a stylish and bespoke alternative to what's on offer from the Marco Polo and California. It's also worth noting that Vanworx is a fully Volkswagen accredited camper conversion specialist, which means they are one of the UK few van firms to have VCA Conformity of Production status and Whole Vehicle Type Approval. -
Volkswagen Golf Mk2 GTI and GTI 16V (1983 - 1992) (Classics Reviews)
Volkswagen's update of the Giugiaro-penned original was an improvement over the 1974 original in every way, except perhaps in terms of styling. It was roomier, easier to service, more rust resistant and generally faster. -
Volkswagen Type 2 Camper (bay window) (1968 - 1979) (Classics Reviews)
Volkswagen Kombi farewell video -
Volkswagen Type 2 Kombi/Camper (Split-screen) (1949 - 1968) (Classics Reviews)
Volkswagen started work on its first commercial vehicle, and launched it three years later. It was officially designated as the Type 2, but is also known as the T1. Either way, it was a shape which launched a million campers - and there were several different body variations to choose from. -

Usually front-wheel drive, the T5 can have all-wheel drive via Volkswagen's 4Motion system, which unless you’re determined to reach the most inaccessible places, isn’t really necessary. Volkswagen DSG automatics aren’t without problems in the long term. -

The Volkswagen T2 was still imported in 2009 and converted to a camper by Danbury. That old pub car bore’s adage; ‘why did they ever stop making the ....?’ (insert name of favourite, long-defunct motor here) doesn’t apply to Volkswagen’s famous, rear-engined Type 2 ‘Bay Window’ van, because it still does.What is the cheapest Classic Car Insurance for a Mk1 Volkswagen Golf GTI (Article)

Review: Thule Touring S roof box (productReview)
To fit the box you need to first mount the roof bars. Here, on the Volkswagen Up, that requires the Thule Rapid System 754. As the Up does without rack mounts or channels, this utilises a foot and clamp system that rests on the roof itself and clamps down into the door shut.
