The VW Camper Van

It was never meant to be something you went camping in. But over 70 years since a British major persuaded the Volkswagen car factory to reopen and produce vehicles for a war-ravaged Germany, that is exactly what this vehicle has become best known for. Now, Mike Harding - self-confessed 'Camper Van nut' and owner of his own Danbury conversion called Molly - charts the surprising cultural history of a motoring institution which has become both an unassuming member of the family and the ultimate symbol of the freedom of the open road. Come along for the ride and discover the history of one of the most iconic, treasured, and damn-near indestructible vehicles ever made.
