In this outstanding book published to mark the Transporter's 60th anniversary, Richard Copping, aided by Brian Screaton, traces its history in lively words and stunning images, from prototype to production, and through all five generations.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eKey to the enjoyment of this story of the first 60 years of Volkswagen Transporter production is a breathtaking range of rare and fascinating archive photographs, many of which were personally selected by the authors at Volkswagen's Wolfsburg archives. Similarly, unrestricted access to the company's extensive collection of imagery for press usage ensures that the more recent Transporters of the fourth and fifth generations are admirably portrayed.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eSupplementing such treasures, the authors include photographs and artwork from their own collections of period brochures and literature dispensed over the years by Volkswagen's dealer network. Of particular interest is the treasure trove of highly collectable and often entertaining imagery from all the independent companies that have offered camping conversions on the Transporter.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eIn their research at Wolfsburg, the authors have also unearthed new information for their authoritative text, including evidence that suggests a far larger role than previously thought for Heinz Nordhoff, Volkswagen's first Director General, in the development of both the original 'split-screen' Transporter and the second-generation 'bay-window' version.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eNever before has there been such a comprehensive and dedicated attempt to accurately chronicle and celebrate the legendary Volkswagen ' Transporter. No collector, enthusiast or automotive historian can afford to miss this glorious tribute.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003e \u003c\/p\u003e \u003chr class=\"ProductSectionSeparator\"\u003e \u003ch3\u003eOther Details\u003c\/h3\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"ProductDetailsGrid\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublisher Code:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9781844255795\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 10:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eISBN 13:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9781844255795\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePublished:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e2010\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eDimensions:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e230x285mm\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003ePages:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e400\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eIllustrations:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003eHard Bound, colour and b\/w ill\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"DetailRow\"\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Label\"\u003eBarcode:\u003c\/div\u003e \u003cdiv class=\"Value\"\u003e9781844255795\u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e \u003c\/div\u003e","brand":"Haynes","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":47627992105180,"sku":"9781844255795","price":189.95,"currency_code":"AUD","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0814\/8297\/3404\/files\/b14994b_volkswagen_transporter_60_Years__35638.1339460495.1280.1280.jpg?v=1772089357","url":"https:\/\/automotobookshop.com.au\/products\/volkswagen-transporter-the-first-60-years","provider":"Automoto Bookshop","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
