generation of the Type 2. It is

famous for its distinctive air cooled

engine and split front windscreen, it

was known as the Splittie. It was the

off the production line in 1950 and

continued to be produced for a

further 17 years. This was a rather

vehicle and was the birth of a whole

new motoring era.

Introduced in 1968, the T2 made an

immediate break with the tradition of

the transporter by taking away the

split windscreen, which was the

trademark of the former model. This

model was known as the bay

window or bread loaf because of its

larger and heavier build and a more

block like shape. This particular
