History

The VW Transporter second generation was manufactured from 1967 to 1979 (the first generation, called type 2, because the type 1 is the Beetle — a little complicated! appeared in 1949). T2a is produced until 1972, followed by T2b. Note: the name “Kombi” is not official.

The most visible external differences between the two are the front indicators gone from the bottom to the top, the less-enveloping front bumpers, and the smaller diameter VW badge.

Features (1973 model): four-cylinder flatbed engine, 1679 cm³, 49 kW (67 hp) DIN. Tyres 185 R 14. Top speed unknown.
