First drawn as a sketch in 1947 by a Dutch auto dealer, it appeared as a panel van and bus in 1950, and as a camper in 1951. Utilizing the same engine and running parts as the 'Beetle', it was never going to be a racer, managing only 62 mph (100km/hr) in ideal conditions, but it was fuel efficient, incredibly tough, and very versatile.
Like the Beetle and Mini, it has remained almost timeless in its original design despite the fact that it has been around for many years.
This is the ubiquitous, world famous Volkswagen T2.
