Volkswagen Beetle
Few cars have achieved the iconic status of Volkswagen's classic and much-loved Beetle – yet its origins are intertwined with the dark days of Nazism. This book looks at those origins, at the marque's initial post-war rescue by the British and the effect of early VW Director General Heinz Nordhoff's forward-looking desire to perfect one model rather than spread the company's talent over a range of designs, at the impact of radical-minded advertising campaigns and at the Beetle's never-to-be-beaten production record for a single model of nearly 22 million cars. Bringing the reader right up to the present day, marque expert Richard A. Copping recounts the Beetle's story in a lively and authoritative manner guaranteed to delight devotee and casual browser alike.

Volkswagen Beetle
The VW Beetle is simply the best-known and most-loved car in the history of the motor car. Amazingly, some of the earliest Beetles, now seven decades old, are still on the road, while more recent examples, particularly the classics from the late 1950s and '60s are many an enthusiast's pride and joy. Created through the ingenuity of Ferdinand Porsche, brought to the brink of series production by Hitler's Nazis and rescued from oblivion by the British after the war, the Beetle soon developed into a phenomenon under the guardianship of Heinz Nordhoff, the VW boss for two decades. Overwhelmingly successful in over 150 countries across the world, most notably in the USA; when the car finally fell from grace in Europe after Nordhoff's death, it was destined to enjoy a revitalized and lengthy swansong in South America. The legendary Beetle’s intriguing story is unraveled in this fascinating and handsome book.

Volkswagen Transporter
Instantly recognized across the world, Volkswagen’s Transporter proved a great success from the day of its launch to the world’s automotive press in November 1949. Its versatility as a workhorse, people carrier and (albeit unintentionally at first) as a camper, has guaranteed it a unique place in motoring history, while the desire to own one or more examples of varying ages has resulted in escalating values for surviving Transporters, and not just the earliest of models. Now the Transporter is the subject of this book and part of the Haynes Great Cars Series, where stunning studio photography combines with archive material and a narrative covering all the key elements in the history of this venerable box on wheels.
