Dating right back to 1950, the VW T1 was in production until 1967. Officially known in Germany as the Transporter Kombi, it comprised a very roomy utility van which could be converted to a minibus or more popularly a camper van. And great it was too! Oxford's T1 Is registered AMO 426A from 1963. It comes as a van and is decorated in a muted blue, typical of the period. Enhanced with silver exterior trim, note the white wheels! The interior is moulded in a pale grey.
In real life, the T1 was the successor to VW's Beetle and its longevity proves it has been equally successful and popular over the years.
