An air-cooled 4-cylinder engine capable of 44hp was employed at the rear of the boxy yet curved body. One of the most popular among the wealth of its variations was the “Samba” microbus, which had a 23-window version encircled by windows and employing a canvas roof. It accommodated 9 adults and was notable for its flat floor and twin side doors. Type 2 (T1) was produced until 1967, and ever since has enjoyed massive popularity the world over. Comedian Gabriel “Fluffy” Iglesias is among the largest and most prolific collectors of the VW Type 2, and maintains his private collection in Long Beach, California.\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cp\u003eFEATURES:\u003c\/p\u003e \u003cul\u003e\u003cli\u003e1\/24 scale plastic model snap-together assembly kit (no cement needed) of the famed “Samba” model of the Volkswagen Type 2 with 23 windows.
