The Volkswagen, successor to the successful VW T1, was launched in 1979. While its predecessor still relied on the tried and tested technology of the "Beetle", the much roomier T3 was a completely redeveloped vehicle. The vehicle was distinguished by its much more angular appearance and was primarily suited to leisure activities. The elevating roof gave it an additional sleeping compartment so that the T3 was often used as a camping vehicle. Comprehensive instructions and true to the original "Joker" decals are included.
This economical, reliable little T3 transporter was made from 1979 onwards. The completely redeveloped vehicle with its practical modern shape was visibly roomier than its predecessors. As the last rear-engined type made by VW, it was regarded as the last real bully . The 4-cylinder engine offered 50 to 112 bhp according to version. As usual the transporter appeared in various commercial vehicle versions and also in the form of a camper for private use. In particular the successful Joker version from the Westfalia company in Gütersloh, with whom VW had been cooperating since the 1950s, enjoyed great popularity. The Westfalia Joker was eminently suitable as a multi-function vehicle for traveling to work, for routine daily use, and also for longer holiday journeys. Sales in excess of 70,000 of this home on wheels vouch for its great popularity at home and abroad. Its comfortable living space with integral driver's cab had a complete kitchen unit, seats and beds, storage cupboards and a practical rising roof.
