This VW camper.

The Type 2 disappeared from the European and most other markets in 1979. This one however was first registered in July 2005. How so? It was imported from Brazil specifically for camping purposes. It was one of the last ones to have the aircooled 1.6.

Fly me to the moon ... or wherever that thing is. It should be mine, dammit!

This is like the Beetle that was still built down there, right?

Beetle was “only” produced until 2003 in Mexico, but Brazil had the Kombi untill 2013!
