new design 1-ton van has begun in the Volkswagen commercial plant at Hanover, and by the end of the year some of these 1968 models should make their appearance on the British market.
Most of the changes affect the bodywork although the design resembles the existing model.
Types available continue as before: delivery van, high roof delivery van pick-up with timber platform, and a range of passenger-carrying types which will be given the designation "Clipper".
Included in the van range will be a version with access to the body from the driving area.
A full-width windscreen is now standard fitting on all new models and this together with an almost flat front is where the new range differs from existing vehicles. In the centre of the front body section the headlamps are housed in a recessed panel and the directional flashers are now positioned a few inches above the front bumper which in this new range do not wrap round the corners.
