It has been sixty years since the idea of VW’s Transporter was conceived by Dutchman Ben Pon after seeing motorized trolleys, known as plattenwagen, conveying components around the British-managed Wolfsburg factory in the mid-1940s. Pon’s idea was initially dismissed but reconsidered by Heinz Nordhoff when appointed VW’s chief executive in 1948. The Transporter changed little in concept throughout decades of production, and it is a tribute to its original notion that it remains in production in Brazil, nearly six decades after its postwar German debut. This thoroughly researched book explores the VW bus story, from its origins to the present day; the history of this familiar and much-loved vehicle is chronicled in an evocative style. This entirely new edition of the acclaimed book first published in 1997 includes the story of the world’s most famous camper and includes full specifications, production details, and buying advice.

The original design was inspired by the flatbed vehicles used in the Wolfsburg factory. After initial problems with the cars were solved production of the Kombi and Panel Van began in 1950. Official variations began in the early 1950's and the Type 2 came in almost any shape a buyer wanted. To keep up with demand a new factory was opened in Hanover in 1956 and the millionth type 2 was produced in 1962. By the end of production in 1967 nearly 2 million had been built. This volume deals specifically with VW's Microbus, pick-up, Kombi, Transporter and Landmark models, and includes contemporary road and comparison tests, technical and specification data, touring, variations.

Bedford is a name from British automotive history that became synonymous with quality commercial vehicles.  Between 1930 and the late 1980s few companies, large or small, did have at least a couple of Bedfords within their fleet.  These were dependable vehicles used by fleet operators all over the UK and beyond.   When the new lesiure activity of motorcaravanning became popular in the mid-1950's, it was hardly surprising that converters turned their attention to the Bedford CA light commercial van, which had been unveiled in 1951.  The CA and CF ranges were the perfect size for compact camper vans that could nevertheless provide a good level of comfort and luxury.  Add in the smaller HA and the later Midi and Rascal models, and Bedford offered a host of attractive options.  Here Martin Watts, founder of the Classic Camper Club,  tells the complete story of all the Bedford camper and motorhome vehicles.
