1:76 Scale

First launched in 1968, the second generation T2 was a great improvement on the previous spilt 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, the Mexico and South America. The VW type 2, classed as a Van/Minibus had a wide range if 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.

We have had such demand for these items that we have accelerated the release of further colours. 76VW009 in Regatta Blue, 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 business such as plumbers, carpenters and the like. The 76VW010 Pastel White Type 2 pick-up vehicle is a replica of the 2-door Volkswagen variant, often known as the Single Cab, featuring a wide and open load bed behind the standard cab. The VW011 Pastel White Bus version was the essential vehicle for 'surfies'! (That's ME!). As well as carrying all the equipment and wet suits, along with a number of passengers, this version of the T2 meant you could get changed in it, sleep in it and store everything you needed to ride the waves. The 76VW012 Lime Green/White Camper with louvred windows in the side and often-customised rear interior meant you could just take the open road. What you saved on accommodation, you could spend on meals and leisure activities en route.
