No, like Vanagon these are South African only names. The 'Kombi' is used in Germany for convertibles, used as transporter without rear seats or as bus with rear seats. But there is no label 'Kombi', just a name found in price lists.

Bulli is a nickname for all kind of VW Transporters Type 2 (in the meaning Type 1 is the bug).

Helmut '80 Camper
