Download or read book The VW Camper Van written by Mike Harding and published by Aurum. This book was released on 2013-05-23 with total page 256 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: It was invented immediately after the war, in the factory a far-sighted English military man had set up to turn the German economy from making machines of warfare to more pacific products. By the seventies that dream had been amply fulfilled, as the VW Campervan became the conveyance of choice for West Coast hippies, Australian surf bums and Europeans taking the overland route to find enlightenment and good karma in India. It had also become – indeed, still is – the first choice for any couple, or family, seeking a cheap camping holiday with wheels attached. So never mind the oddly off-centre driving wheel, the vagaries of the aircooled rear engine – the VW Campervan had become more than a vehicle – it had truly become a way of life. Mike Harding’s first ride in a Volkswagen Camper Van was back in 1961, when it was the carrying around the gear and bandmembers of his rock band the Manchester Rainmakers. Finally, in 2009, he could wait no longer, and bought his own, a 2001 Type 2 bay window Brazilian import Danbury conversion in hot orange and off white. Add in the endless curiosity of the author of eight monographs on church architecture, and the hilarious sense of humour of one of Britain’s best stand-up comics, and you have a wonderful social history of the postwar years through the prism of a single transport icon.

Book Synopsis Volkswagen Beetles and Buses by : Russell Hayes
Download or read book Volkswagen Beetles and Buses written by Russell Hayes and published by Motorbooks. This book was released on 2020-10-06 with total page 183 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: This illustrated history celebrates the 75th and 70th anniversaries of Volkswagen's two most iconic vehicles, from the first Beetles spearheaded by Ferdinand Porsche in the 1940s to the buses that became synonymous with a generation. Volkswagen is one of the most beloved brands in motoring history, thanks largely to two instantly recognizable vehicles: the Beetle (a.k.a. Bug) and the Bus. More than 23 million VW Beetles have buzzed into the world since 1945, while the VW Bus presaged the minivan by thirty-plus years. Volkswagen: Beetles and Buses examines and celebrates all aspects of the vehicles and the many cultural associations that have swirled around them for more than seven decades. The diminutive rear-engined and easily mass-produced Beetle became the most popular imported car in America during the 1960s. Its success was due to its familiar face, its wildly clever ad campaigns, and the sheer numbers produced. The equally compact yet spacious Bus (a.k.a. Kombi, Microbus, Type 2, Transporter, and simply “van”) has won millions of fans around the world with its practicality, simplicity, and design. In this beautifully illustrated and authoritatively written celebration, author Russell Hayes looks back at the vehicles while focusing on the classic air-cooled VWs that ran into the late 1970s. Along the way, readers witness the Beetle and Bus at work and at play and learn about vehicle development and growing roles in popular culture, including star appearances in films like The Love Bug, Little Miss Sunshine, Footloose, Fight Club, The Big Lebowski, and Fast Times at Ridgemont High, as well as television shows like Lost and Once Upon a Time and on the covers of the Beatles’ Abbey Road and Bob Dylan’s Freewheelin’ album. The story is brought up to date with coverage of the New Beetle and plans for the VW Buzz, a modern electric version of the iconic Microbus due in 2022. Volkswagen: Beetles and Buses deserves a place in the motoring libraries of VW owners, automotive enthusiasts, and those simply interested in pop culture. It's the ultimate illustrated history of these beloved vehicles.

Download or read book Volkswagen Bus written by Heinz Duthel and published by . This book was released on 2012-03-08 with total page 462 pages. Available in PDF, EPUB and Kindle. Book excerpt: Volkswagen BusHistory of the Volkswagen Bus. List of the Volkswagen Bus.The concept for the Type 2 is credited to Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon. (It has similarities in concept to the 1920s Rumpler Tropfenwagen and 1930s Dymaxion car by Buckminster Fuller, neither of which reached production.) Pon visited Wolfsburg in 1946, intending to purchase Type 1s for import to Holland, where he saw an improvised parts-mover and realized something better was possible using the stock Type 1 pan. He first sketched the van in a doodle dated April 23, 1947, proposing a payload of 690 kg (1,500 lb) and placing the driver at the very front. Production would have to wait, however, as the factory was at capacity producing the Type 1.The first generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 with the split windshield, informally called the Microbus, Splitscreen, or Splittie among modern fans, was produced from 8 March 1950 through the end of the 1967 model year. From 1950 to 1956, the T1 was built in Wolfsburg; from 1956, it was built at the completely new Transporter factory in Hanover. Like the Beetle, the first Transporters used the 1100 Volkswagen air-cooled engine, an 1,131 cc (69.0 cu in), DIN-rated 18 kW (24 PS; 24 bhp), air-cooled flat-four-cylinder 'boxer' engine mounted in the rear. This was upgraded to the 1200 - an 1,192 cc (72.7 cu in) 22 kW (30 PS; 30 bhp) in 1953. A higher compression ratio became standard in 1955; while an unusual early version of the 30 kW (41 PS; 40 bhp) engine debuted exclusively on the Type 2 in 1959. This engine proved to be so uncharacteristically troublesome that Volkswagen recalled all 1959 Transporters and replaced the engines with an updated version of the 30 kW engine.One of five generations of Volkswagen vans: Volkswagen Type 2 (T1), generation T1 (Microbus, or Split-screen bus) Volkswagen Type 2 (T2), generation T2 ("Bay window" bus) Volkswagen Type 2 (T3), generation T3 (Vanagon) Volkswagen Transporter (T4), generation T4 (Eurovan) Volkswagen Transporter (T5), generation T5 (Eurovan) Volkswagen Bus Volkswagen Volkswagen Volksbus Volkswagen (timeline) Volkswagen Type 2 Volkswagen Type 3 Volkswagen Type 2 (T3) Volkswagen Transporter (T4) Volkswagen Transporter (T5) Volkswagen Westfalia Campers Volkswagen Microbus Concept Volkswagen California Volkswagen New Beetle Volkswagen Phaeton Volkswagen Jetta Motorhome Minibus Panel van Volkswagen Transporter The Henry Ford Chicken tax Hippie Draisine Lanz Bulldog Puebla Ben Pon, Sr. Rumpler Tropfenwagen Dymaxion car Citroen H Van Bedford CA Renault Estafette Samba (bus) Adventurewagen Volkswagen air-cooled engine Sao Bernardo do Campo Inline-four engine Flexible-fuel vehicle Water cooling Air-cooled engine Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles Light commercial vehicle Nissan Vanette Straight-five engine Catalytic converter Four-wheel drive Alloy wheel Internal combustion engine Disc brake Weight distribution Flat engine Pickup truck Aerodynamics Drag coefficient Wind tunnel Eurovans Volkswagen Routan Van Transverse engine Front-engine design Westfalia Garuda Mataram Motor Poznan Hanover Campervan Anti-lock braking system Turbocharged Direct Injection Manual transmission Fifth Gear The A-Team Dual-clutch transmission Direct-Shift Gearbox 4motion
