1973 Volkswagen T2

The second generation of the VW transporter - the T2 - was launched in 1967. The new kid on the block was 20 centimetres longer, had larger windows and, as its most striking feature, an expansive, single-piece, domed windscreen, known as the bay window. The driver’s cabin was significantly more comfortable, making the T2 an ideal vehicle for longer distances. In its standard version, the VW transporter had only one sliding door and a remarkably improved chassis. An air-cooled boxer engine remained unchanged at the rear. The T2 became the most popular minivan of its generation and even beyond. Over 2.5 million units left the factory until its replacement by the T3 in 1979.
