This morning while queueing at the Audi shop I glanced through a late issue of "Gute Fahrt" the german VW mag. They presented a design study called Concept 2 with lots of remenisences to the T1 Microbus. Was that the one you were talking about ? The article said it had been drawn by an englishman and was published also in "VW Speed". As soon as I have my scanner fixed again I will send a sample. Bye Tom N. PS. Anybody on the list who knows details about that Concept 2 ? >>
In Hot VW's a few issues back there were some concept van "retro splittie" drawings by a man named Steve Stanford. Pretty cool renderings. VW needs a good kick in the pants and start building this thing. People wanted the Bug (Concept 1) and they're building it, so why not a concept bus? p.s. - check out the new issue of "Automobile" magazine - the one w/ the "new Bug" on the cover- there's a good article on it. The "new Bug" is due out late next year. chris
