Product information
The Volkswagen T3 Transporter, which was unveiled in 1979, set new
standards
for recreational and family activities. In contrast to
the first two generations of the VW Transporter, the very squarish and
matterof-fact
shape of the T3 was far from charming for many
customers. Nonetheless, its powerful boxer engine, greater comfort and
the
large amount of available space ensured the Volkswagen T3
soon became a firm favourite with customers. Manufactured between 1979
and 1992
as a bus, box van and flat-bed truck, it offered lots
of opportunities to stamp your personal mark on the vehicle. Due to the
great
success of the VW T2 Westfalia camper van, the T3 was
also designed as a Westfalia. During its production period, there were a
number
of camping variants such as the ‘Joker’ basic model
and the slightly more elaborately equipped ‘Club Joker’. In later years,
the ‘Joker’ model was also marketed under the name
‘California’. Volkswagen subsequently launched the ‘Atlantic’, which was
a more
luxurious mobile home. Today, the original T3 ‘Joker’,
‘Club Joker’, ‘California’ and ‘Atlantic’ versions are an integral part
of the VW club scene and fetch high prices among collectors
and fans.
