1:76 Scale

The brand new 1:76 scale introduction of the Volkswagen T2 is an absolute WOW! We are always being asked for this model so here it is in four variations, all of which fill a gap in anyone's diecast collection, as well as bringing back personal memories of this essential vehicle of the period.
First launched in 1968, the second generation T2 was a great improvement on the previous split windscreen version of the 1950s. It was larger and heavier with a new wider front windshield and a bigger engine. It was manufactured initially in Germany before extending manufacture and/or assembly to the rest of Europe, the USA, Mexico and South America. The VW Type 2, classed as a Van/Minibus had a wide range of uses with body style variations to suit, including 3 door van, 4 door minibus, 2 door truck with regular cab and 4 door truck with crew cab amongst the many configurations.
Our first release is the 76VW001 in Peru Green, this Type 2 VW van, with its spacious carrying capacity and sliding side door could arguably be classed as the forerunner of the modern delivery van. Without side windows or rear seats, as well as being a useful delivery vehicle, the VW van – also known as a panel van - was used extensively by small trade businesses such as plumbers, carpenters and the like.
