VW T2 | Hippie Van | The biggest selling Volkswagen Transporter and its campervans
The #VW T2 or #hippievan turned the Volkswagen #camper into a truly global phenomenon. This video celebrates the history of the #volkswagenT2 that was built in some form, somewhere in the world, for an incredibly 46 years.
There's more detail on the T2 and all other VW Transporters and their campers in the book of the channel - "VW Campers for Beginners". Check out print and e-book versions on AMAZON - https://bit.ly/vwcampersforbeginners
This video uses great archive photos and video courtesy of Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, to recall some amazing and sometime surprising developments of the model whose giant curved windscreen led to it being known affectionately as the #bay window.
The Bay remains hugely popular for campervan conversion - but who remembers the all-electric T2 Volkswagen of 1972, whose underfloor battery weighed more than a Volkswagen beetle. Or, the experimental all-wheel drive Bays that were a technical success but judged a little ahead of their time and weren't put into production. Our video includes beautifully restored T2 Transporters filmed at V-dub events throughout the UK - and charts the developments of the Bay in Mexico and Brazil which continued long after the popular van ceased production in its native Germany.
Our thanks to RB Motorhomes of Darley, North Yorkshire, for the opportunity to film a rare water-cooled Bay, converted into a campervan by Danbury - giving the classic look of a vintage Bay, but with mod cons including power steering.
