DISCOVER THE HISTORY OF VOLKSWAGEN

Volkswagen: The iconic manufacturer that puts the “cool” in air-cooled. The German car marque Volkswagen has produced some of the world’s most recognised classic cars, and modern heroes.

VW were responsible for creating the quintessential hatchback with the Golf, which has influenced many decades of car manufacturing since its debut. Now a much sought-after classic, the Volkswagen Golf GTI has established itself as a cult masterpiece. It’s truly a car that will never go out of style. 

Similarly, since the Volkswagen Scirocco launched in 1974 – the first VW sports coupe – it’s held its stature as an icon throughout the decades, relaunching from generation to generation. 

But we couldn’t touch upon the history of Volkswagen cars without mentioning one of the brand’s most recognisable models – the Beetle. This classic is typically associated with the swinging 60s and has a reputation for being an easy-going, custom car. Whether a classic, modified or standard, the Volkswagen Beetle will continue to represent quirky and cool.

Lastly, another much-loved VW model is the campervan. Dating back to the 1950s, it began life as the Type 1 VW Transporter before becoming a favourite for conversion amongst campervan enthusiasts. Since then, VW have launched a T2, T3, T4, T5, T6 and the T7, which was launched in 2022. 

Are you the proud owner of one of these iconic VW models? Lucky you. Get in touch to discuss your VW classic car or camper insurance needs on 0121 248 9229.
