VW Bus T3 - Alle Modelle von 1979-1992

The VW T3, built from 1979 to 1992, evolved from the shadow of its predecessor, the "Bulli, " into a classic in its own right. From this versatile transporter, Volkswagen developed the still-successful Multivan.

Like the T1 and T2, the T3 appealed not only to commercial users but also to families and leisure drivers as a travel vehicle and alternative to competing models. Many versions were produced both in the Hannover factory and by specialized conversion companies.

In this monograph, VW expert Richard Copping traces the T3's development from boxy transporter to cult vehicle, detailing technical improvements, special adaptations, and popular camper versions.

The book includes comprehensive technical data, numerous contemporary photos, and a review of international press coverage and test reports from its production period.
Written with care and entertainingly, it provides a detailed reference for VW Bus enthusiasts from the first to the current generation.
