About this product

Product Information

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 products for peacetime. 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. So never mind the oddly off-centre driving wheel, the vagaries of the aircooled rear engine - the VW Campervan had become more than a vehicle - it had truly become a way of life.

Reviews
'This is a very personal and highly readable book, and will appeal equally to hardcore bus freaks as well as those who know little about the VW bus. I was sad to reach the final page and wanted more!', 'Love letter to a vehicle forever associated with peace signs, surfer dudes and Aussies making the overland trip to London's 'Kangaroo Valley.'', "It is perhaps fitting that the introduction to the definitive book on Volkswagen's Transporter reads like a blissed-out hippie's stream of consciousness....Someone really has to pick up the movie rights..." -  MOTOR MOUTH, driving.ca "Part history, part memoir, the book is sure to delight the most diehard of devotees--and fully entertain those who are merely curious." -  BOOKPAGE.COM "This is a very personal and highly readable book, and will appeal equally to hardcore bus freaks as well as those who know little about the VW bus. I was sad to reach the final page and wanted more!" - VW Camper & Commercial "Harding has some great anecdotes. strangely enthralling." - Classic Car Weekly "Well written and really engaging." - Auto Express "This paen to the 'Bulli' is part tribute, part novel, part history book, and a fun route into the model for the non-obsessive." - Classic & Sports Car "It's as much a cultural history as one of the vehicle itself, Harding recalling his first dalliance as an owne, falling in love with 'Molly' on first sight in the romantic environs of Preston... A fun read." - Octane "Mike Harding's engaging account of his love affair with that icon of laid-back hippy chic, the VW Camper, tootles along as niftily as a well-preserved Splitty." - Eastern Daily Press "Love letter to a vehicle forever associated with peace signs, surfer dudes and Aussies making the overland trip to London's 'Kangaroo Valley." - Lonely Planet Traveller "Harding writes as a fan." - Camping
