Mike Harding The VW Camper Van

Annotation

It was invented immediately after the war in the factory a far-sighted English military man had set up to turn the German economy from making machines of warfare to more pacific products. By the seventies that dream had been amply fulfilled as the VW Campervan became the conveyance of choice for West Coast hippies Australian surf bums and Europeans taking the overland route to find enlightenment and good karma in India. It had also become - indeed still is - the first choice for any couple or family seeking a cheap camping holiday with wheels attached. The VW Campervan had become more than a vehicle - it had truly become a way of life. Coma along for the ride and discover the history of the most iconic treasured and damn-near indestructible vehicle ever made.
