The original Type 2 sold in far larger numbers than VW had originally envisaged when it was launched in 1950. Sensibly, they evolved this successful concept and launched the second-generation Type 2 in late 1967. The new vehicle was larger, more powerful, more comfortable and more versatile, but retained the original’s charm and its air-cooled rear-engined layout. It was almost immediately nicknamed the ‘Bay Window’ because of its large wraparound windscreen and is now often known just as the ‘Bay’.
The example modelled was first registered on May 3rd 1979 and immediately sent to Devon Conversions, the company that invented the word Caravanette, to be turned into a camper. Later in its life, this went on to be owned by Darrell Burge, marketing manager for Corgi Die-cast, and was affectionately named ‘Pepper’. Sadly, Darrell passed away suddenly in February 2021, so this product acts as a welcome tribute to Darrell and his dedication to Corgi Die-cast models.
