Manufacturer description

If you love the VW camper, our Oxford Diecast Birch Green/White VW Bus is lovely. First launched in 1968, the second generation T2 was a great improvement on the previous split windscreen version of the 1950s. It was larger and heavier with a new wider front windshield and a bigger engine. It was manufactured initially in Germany before extending manufacture and/or assembly to the rest of Europe, the USA, Mexico and South America. The VW Type 2, classed as a Van/Minibus had a wide range of uses with body style variations to suit, including 3 door van, 4 door minibus, 2 door truck with regular cab and 4 door truck with crew cab amongst the many configurations.

The model depicts a Volkswagen Type 2 T2 built in 1968.

Initial production was in Germany, later extending to other European countries, the United States, Mexico and South America.

The VW Type 2 was classed as a van/minibus and was produced in a variety of body styles, including three‑door van, four‑door minibus, two‑door truck with regular cab and four‑door truck with crew cab. The Oxford Diecast Birch Green/White version reflects the typical British Rail Blue livery used before the introduction of TOPS.
