The VW Type 4 in its time

In our photo gallery you can see many beautiful VW 411/412, which are lovingly cared for and maintained by their owners and proudly driven to meetings. At the same time, we remember some events of the respective year.


At this point we would like to show the VW Type 4 in its time and hereby call on all members and non-members to share their memories with all VW411-412 friends.


Was it your family car between 1968 and the mid-1980s? Did grandpa wash it lovingly by hand every weekend? Did you go on vacation to the south? Were you allowed to ride along with your neighbor? What was transported in the VW 411/412 back then?


Now we need your help: dig through your photo boxes and look in old photo albums for photos as contemporary witnesses. We are excited to see what there is to see.
