The origin of all today's vans and vans goes back to the plate wagon used in the late 1940s in the Volkswagen production in Wolfsburg, which inspired the Dutch importer Ben Pon for an idea of a transport vehicle. At the end of the 1940s, VW developed several prototypes for a large -scale and suitable vehicle suitable for transport. Since none of the names initially desired could be used without restriction, the new vehicle class was given the name van. From March 8, 1950, the first generation van was manufactured in series. The car with the typical V-shaped front section and the shared windscreen was available in various designs, including as a minibus. The technology was based on the Volkswagen type 1, the so-called beetle, so that the T1 had an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine. The performance of the reliable rear engine with 1.2 liters of displacement increased from 1961 to 34 hp. The luxury version of the smallbuss, the Neunsitz special model, is still known as a Samba bus and is widespread with oval roof windows, very comfortable sitting, with a folding roof and a lot of chrome parts an unmistakable automotive charm. Thanks to all moving doors, the kit allows a deep insight into the spacious interior. According to the great demand in the United States, the European or American version can be built.
