1/24 Volkswagen T1 Samba Bus Model Set

The origin of all today's vans and vans goes back to the plate wagon used in the late 1940s in Volkswagen production in Wolfsburg for in-house transport, which inspired the Dutch importer Ben Pon to come up with the idea of a transport vehicle. At the end of the 1940s, VW developed several prototypes for a large-scale vehicle suitable for transport purposes. Since none of the initially desired names could be used without restriction, the new vehicle class was given the name Transporter. From 8 March 1950, the first generation van was mass-produced. The car with the typical V-shaped front end and the split windscreen was available in various versions, including as a minibus. The technology was based on that of the Volkswagen Type 1, the so-called Beetle, so that the T1 had an air-cooled four-cylinder boxer engine. The output of the reliable rear engine with a displacement of 1.2 litres increased to 34 hp from 1961. The luxury version of the minibus, the nine-seater special model, is still referred to today as the Samba Bus and spreads an unmistakable automotive charm with oval skylights, very comfortable seats, a folding roof and many chrome parts. Thanks to all movable doors, the kit allows a deep insight into the spacious interior. In line with the great demand also in the USA, the European or American version can be built either.
