Volkswagen Camper Dormobile - 23e |
|
| One of a long line of VW
campers, Microbuses and Dormobiles produced by Matchbox over the years.
Also known as the 'Mobile Home'. This one has a lift-up roof which
displays the detailed interior. By now we've moved on from the old
split-screen Type 2 Volkswagen which originally had barn doors on the
side, then sliding. Now we have a one-piece windscreen and smoother
styling. The registration plate is 1970, backed up by '1970' being
stamped on the baseplate. There was no transitional model 23 in the range. The old Trailer Caravan with regular wheels was deleted and this new model introduced in 1970 at 23e, the Volkswagen Camper with Superfast wheels. First it was blue, then orange, then military green, last of all white. There are two harder to find versions to look for, the blue one sometimes has a fuel filler cap cast in, sometimes not. With the filler cap is hard to find. Orange ones with sailboat labels are also harder to find and hence more valuable. Other than that they are relatively common. Scroll down for more..... |
