Product Description
This comprehensive guide is the first one to tell the whole story of the Volkswagen Bay-Window Transporter, produced from 1967 to 1979. It deals with the Transporter's development, its technical evolution, the model codes, the specification detail changes, the factory fitted M-codes and Transporter export. Using this book, Bus enthusiasts can crack the codes of their own specific vehicle, to find out the factory-fitted specifications like paint and trim colours, engine and transmission types and even, the date of manufacture, model and destination code.

Finally a book on Bays,
By Faux (Bay Area) - See all my reviews
This review is from: VW Transporter and Microbus: Specification Guide 1967-1979 (Hardcover)
I heard about this book on www.thesamba.com and reserved a copy. It showed up today and it's a great book. Up until now I had to make do with books covering all VWs or all Buses, like Meredith's book VW Bus. Well this book is devoted to just Bays and it has a lot of great info like what all the M Codes are, colors, options, unique models, and tons of pictures from Buses all over the world.If you own a Bay Bus (68-79) this book is a must have. I ordered mine from Amazon Canada because it wasn't available in the States. Enjoy!

Wunderbar,

This review is from: VW Transporter and Microbus: Specification Guide 1967-1979 (Hardcover)
VW books are plentiful but this is the first one that really gives the Type 2 baywindow bus the attention it deserves. A wonderful history, fascinating factory photos and of course, more details than you can possibly commit to memory.

This review is from: VW Transporter and Microbus: Specification Guide 1967-1979 (Hardcover)
This is truly an amazing book, packed with information. The layout and use of pictures is professional. There are lots of tables, listing engine codes, opional equipment codes, chassis numbers, paint codes and so on. Maybe a bit too many tables for my taste but this imformation is a viable part of any reference guide. Many of the pictures are small, to pack several pictures on the same page. But this is well done and the right way to do it.The author has done a tremendous research on the Bay, and it is quite impressive. Interesting chapter on Transportes at work, special models for fire and ambulance duty. There are also useful pictures to show differences and improvements made during the models lifespan. The only thing I wish for, is that the chapter on exterior paintwork could have had some pictures to show what some of the color names actually look like. This is a top book, I give it my highest recommandation! 2 of 2 people found the following review helpful

This review is from: VW Transporter and Microbus: Specification Guide 1967-1979 (Hardcover)
I've had this book for approx 3 1/2 hours and have had more questions answered than months of internet searches!It is a must have for anyone researching/restoring Bay Window buses. I cannot express how much information is in this book. Well written with plenty of pictures! I've spent months searching google for answers and found that information is sparse and scattered over multiple sites! Now I have all the answers at the flip of a page! |
