Another
outing for the Type 2 Volkswagen. The van was good and so was the Kombi - next
they try the pickup, and it works very well.
I owned
one of these in 1964, my parents went on holiday and I just remember staying up
late waiting for their return and hoping they had brought me back a Corgi - they
had and it was one of these with a red tilt. I've still got it too, but it's
played to death & wrecked. More painted to death I suppose, but the quality of
the original still shines through.
The VW
Transporter Pick-up was released in March 1964 and was produced for just two
years. It was usually yellow with either a red or green tilt, although I've yet
to see a green tilt. It is also occasionally reported in metallic gold, but I've
never seen one of those either. If you find a gold one the value will be high -
although all the versions have quite high values for this nice truck. |
