I am in a race with a similar VW..The winner is the first to complete 20,000 miles around The USA and then make its way back to any cache in Dorset UK.Please move me on as quickly as possible and the more miles the better.However do not move outside USA until 20,000 miles complete.Thanks to all who help me in this Race.Photo's more than welcome.
In 1947 a dutch VW Importer sketched his idea of a van based on the VW Beetle,2 years later his dream was realised and a van which at the time was no more than a box on wheels was launched at the Geneava motor show and sold as a modern day replacement for the Ox and cart.It had many roles including,Ice cream,milk,bakery,vetenary and also all the Emergency services.Last of all came the Campervan,the first big sale was in America in the mid 50's and by 1963 America had purchased 150,000 of these little home from homes.We thought it would be a fitting tribute to tour/RACE where the trend first started.By 1975 the Hanover factory had turned out 4 million...Not bad for a little sketch!!
