VW Bulli - VW Transporter T2 seit 1967 (Schrader Typen Chronik)

The VW Transporter T2 was introduced in 1967 during the "Summer of Love" and marked an important new beginning for Volkswagen. Its rounded front soon earned it the nickname "Bulli". More important were its technical qualities: the vehicle was robust, reliable and suitable for daily use. For fifty years, it has accompanied people around the world in travel, work and leisure.

This book by Michael Steinke offers a clear overview of the T2's development. It follows the main stages of its history, from the early production years to its role as a versatile commercial and leisure vehicle. Numerous illustrations show models, technical features and typical uses.

The volume is aimed at readers who want to understand the cultural relevance and long use of this model. It presents essential facts about design, equipment and variants, explaining why the T2 remains a symbol of an era.
