VW Campervan History

Classic Volkswagen Camper vans have a storied history, evolving from the modest Type 2 beginnings of the mid-20th century to beloved icons of counterculture and road adventure. Initially conceived as a practical, utilitarian transport solution, the classic Volkswagen Camper quickly transformed into a symbol of freedom. Early models (often dubbed 'splitties' for their distinctive split windshield design) captured enthusiasts' hearts with their quirky charm and versatility.

As designs evolved from the 1968 bay window update to more modern refinements, each generation introduced improvements in suspension, engine performance, and styling while conserving their vintage appeal. Iconic colours such as 'Split Sky Blue' and 'Bay Window Beige' became emblematic of the era. Today, restoration projects focus on replicating these original finishes using advanced British Standard formulations, blending tradition with modern technology to ensure every Camper remains roadworthy and true to its heritage.
