Volkswagen Type 2 (T1) Microbus

The original Bulli — a one-box van sharing the Beetle's platform and running gear but reimagined as a practical people-mover or commercial vehicle. The T1 Bus became an icon of bohemian and counterculture movements, its VW-logo nose and split windshield recognisable worldwide.
