The Original and Historical Usage

The VW T1 SAMBA BUS is an iconic model belonging to the Transporter family produced by Volkswagen since 1950. During the post-war "economic miracle" (the 1950s and 1960s), the minibus gained immense popularity not only as a family vehicle but also as a delivery and service vehicle. The "Samba" version featured panoramic windows and enhanced travel comfort. This model reproduces the version operated by German LUFTHANSA, which used a fleet of VW T1s to transport passengers and crew around airport premises.
