VW Bus T3 - Alle Modelle von 1979-1992

For a long time it stood in the shadow of its predecessor, the "Bulli", but the VW T3 has long since become a classic in its own right. With the versatile talent built from 1979 to 1992, Volkswagen managed to develop the Transporter into the multi-van that is still successfully marketed today.
As with the T1 and T2, not only commercial customers liked the versatile Wolfsburg vehicle, but more and more customers discovered the Transporter as a family, leisure and travel vehicle as an alternative to the models of the competition. The variants on offer are accordingly diverse, and they did not always come from the factory in Hanover, but were also manufactured by numerous specialist companies.

In this monograph, VW specialist Richard Copping traces the exciting story from the boxy transporter to the cult car. Meticulously researched, he describes the development history of the T3 and the technical improvements over the model years. The special models right up to the beloved camping versions are described in detail.
In addition to the extensive technical data and many contemporary photos, a well-founded analysis of the international press comments and test reports from those years completes this extraordinary work on one of the last transporters of its kind with rear-wheel drive and rear engine.

Looked at with a loving eye and written in an entertaining way, this book is an interesting reference work for every VW bus lover from the first to the current generation.
