Since there was a sharp rise in the demand for flexible, multi-use transport vehicles in the early stages of the German economicmiracle, Volkswagen started production of the VW Type 2 in 1950. This all-rounder, which was affectionately known as the „VW Bulli“ by its many fans, developed into the outstanding workhorse of the economic upturn in the Germany of the 1950s.

In the 1950s, the „Midlands Centre“ VW dealership was very well known and successful in the Midlands in England. To draw the attention of English customers to the VW Beetle by way of an unusual promotional idea, a Beetle body shell was placed onto a converted VW T1 transporter van. This certainly resulted in a great deal of interest being shown in the practical small car from Germany. Schuco is going to produce in a limited edition of 500 pieces a miniature model of this legendary VW T1 with Beetle body to a scale of 1:18 in the PRO R line. This line, consisting of resin as the material, stands for exceptional and highly filigree small series models. By means of this highgrade model material, it is possible to produce very rare and exotic exemplary vehicles in perfect quality and also in low and exclusive production runs.
When, in the early days of the German economic miracle, the demand and the need for a multi-purpose small transport vehicle was growing ever greater, Volkswagen, with its VW Transporter, had just the right vehicle on offer. Available in the body variants of delivery van, bus, flatbed truck and Samba microbus, the VW T1, lovingly known in Germany as the „Bulli“, was the ideal vehicle for a wide customer-base. After successful advertising, even as early as the 50s based on widespread closeness to the customer, inventive advertisers very soon found the T1, ever-present in the traffic at the time, to be an ideal mobile advertising platform that, because of its unmistakable design, also came across as a good friend. From the mid-50s, the most attractive and creative advertising T1s were those operated by the Schwäbisch Hall Building Society. Under a wind and weather-proof Perspex dome, a miniaturised new housing estate was presented to future savers and builders. 15 of these eye-catching advertising vehicles were in use throughout Germany on behalf of Schwäbisch Hall until well into the 60s and, whether in the daily traffic or in front of many bank branches, they made everyone aware of the building society idea and the slogan „A house builds something else“.

From 1954, the British company „Beardalls of Nottingham“ was a very successful VW dealer. As an unusual publicity idea to draw the attention of British customers to the VW Beetle, a Beetle body was placed on a converted VW T1 box van, thus ensuring that the practical small car from Germany would attract attention. Schuco devotes a fine resin model with metal bodywork on top to this fantastic publicity vehicle. A model that should not be missed from any VW model collection.

Already, in the early stages of the German economic miracle, there was a sharp rise in the demand for flexible, multi-use transporters. This led Volkswagen, in 1950, to start production of the VW Type 2. This jack-of-all-trades won many fans in its camper van version and developed into an outstanding workhorse of the economic upswing of the 1950s. It now appears in an attractive die-cast fir-fighting version as part of the Schuco collection. As is expected of Schuco models, a number of key features have been reproduced exactly with the greatest attention to detail.
Since a huge leap in demand for economic and versatile means of transport arose right at an early stage of the German economical miracle, production of the VW type 2 transporter began at Volkswagen in 1950.

Since the VW T1 Transporter was getting rather long in the tooth after 17 years in production, and increasing numbers of competitors were trying to secure a place in the lucrative small transporter market, in August 1967 Volkswagen introduced the second generation of the VW Transporter, the T2. Compared to its predecessor the T1, the T2 was a complete and consistent new development. With the newly developed 1.6 litre engine with a powerful 47 BHP, revised independent wheel suspension and a complicated semi-trailing arm double steering axle, the T2 had extraordinarily good handling, which was able to match the handling of contemporary cars without problems. With its „new face“ with a continuous windscreen, the Volkswagen T2 was able to seamlessly continue the VW Transporter success story that began in 1950.

As the vehicle designation already indicates, the VW T3 was the third generation of transporters from the Volkswagen Group. Produced between 1979 and 1992, the T3 was also the last VW production series equipped with an air-cooled rear engine, a drive concept that went back as far as the VW Beetle. The VW T3 was manufactured in numerous variants from luxury bus, transporter van and pick-up truck right through to the camping variants. Schuco is going to produce a miniature model of this VW T3 to a scale of 1:64. Edition 1:64 models come with a metal body and chassis. In addition to the prototypical wheel rims, the Schuco 1:64 models stand out due to the many lovingly detailed components.
Volkswagen’s efforts to develop a successor to the extremely successful VW T2 Transporter series began in 1975, culminating in thelaunch of the VW T3 series in May 1979. Originally, the T3 specifications included a front engine with a front-wheel drive. However,due to the tight financial circumstances of the VW Group, the development of an all-new engine generation was abandoned and the T3 was equipped with an air-cooled rear engine like both of its predecessors.
