About "VW Type 181 courier van with pink"

About the artwork

"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 called the "courier car" in Germany and "The Thing" in the USA.

You could also say it was when the round became the 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 back then, a limited slip differential could be ordered as an extra. The engine was a well-known one from the VW Beetle 1302 S, but here it was a throttled 1.6 litre engine with a compression ratio of 7.5:1, making 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.
