About "VW Type 181 courier van in pink"

About the artwork

A guy with strong words
"A car for men who have to get by,"
was the title of the 1969 sales brochure for the Volkswagen Type 181, which came onto the market in 1969 and was known in Germany as the "Courier Car" and in the USA as "The Thing".

You could also say that it was when the round became square and completely without comfort. A leisure car just for relaxation and a maximum speed of 110 km/h, of course without four-wheel drive, but if you wanted it at the time, you could order a limited slip differential as an extra. The engine was a well-known one from the VW Beetle 1302 S, but here it was the throttled 1.6 litre engine with a compression ratio of 7.5:1, which meant only 44 hp. Otherwise a lightweight with only 900 kg, the payload is again ample at 440 kg, so a few heavyweights can fit in for travelling. Four fully synchronised forward gears have been installed for the transmission and a dual-circuit front/rear brake system with drum brakes is more than sufficient for the low overall weight.

Basically an automobile as it looks, honest and with plenty of beading and edges, so that half of the production was taken over by the Bundeswehr, which was after all over 180,000 courier vans produced in total.
