VW T5 Issue 229 UK & EIRE 2 Guineas (2.10) USA $5.00 Tooling! VW T1 Camper - Turquoise/White After the VW Beetle, the VW T1 is probably the most iconic vehicle to emerge from the German car manufacturer, making its debut in 1949/50. Known as either the Kombi or in the UK as the Camper, it provided decades of pleasure to fun-loving motorists of all ages and is still much sought after today, despite its rudimentary internal fittings and inadequate heating system which gave out minimal heat to its travelling occupants until a more efficient upgrade much later! Engine capacity of these VW T1 Camper - Turquoise/White 76VWS002 1:76 5.95 first VW Campers ranged from 1.1L to 1.6L. Here we see the T1 in a favourite colour scheme of the era - turquoise and white, registered DRR 354B from 1964. Featuring the early split windscreen, giving it the name Splittie amongst fans, external trim is finished in both white and silver, carrying through to the wheels and the interior seating is turquoise, reflecting the body colour, rounded off with a pale grey floor. We love the louvred windows too!
VW T4 Van - Grey White 76T4002 1:76 5.95 Tooling! VW T4 Van - Grey White The second release on the 1:76 scale VW T4 utility van is simply decorated in a grey white colour scheme with dark grey interior, registered R940 OFT from 1997-98. The Volkswagen Transporter (T4) was produced between 1990 and 2003 and was a great favourite not only in the UK and Europe but also in the USA, where it still enjoys a cult following, such was its appeal. Its success was due to its versatility, appearing as a general utility van, a minibus and a camper van with an equal number of door and window configurations. For its second 1:76 scale Oxford release, it features a right hand drive and comes with two cab side windows. Exterior trim is finished in black apart from the silver VW badge on the front radiator and the black/silver badge on the rear accompanied by the Transporter logo.

The T5 superseded the T4, already part of the Oxford Commercial Van series, with a production life from 2003 to 2015. It proved a versatile body shape appearing as a cargo/passenger van, pick-up, minibus, crew van and camper van. For its first outing, it comes as a van with two cabin windows and a rear window, registered PO14 UKZ from the first half of 2014. It is decorated in the bright modern orange and white livery of the RAC, carrying all their familiar slogans on the sides, front and back.
