THERE are lots of hugely popular classic car shows in the world, but for one single model to attract around 80,000 people from all over Europe to a single event is a pretty big deal, especially when said model is a van.
It’s been more than 75 years since the iconic Volkswagen Type 2 was first designed, and to celebrate this milestone, the brand organised a full-scale festival in the van’s hometown of Hanover, Germany. And when we say a festival, we mean an event complete with live bands, massive crowds and rows of portable toilets.
This celebration isn’t just for Type 2 fans, though, because more than 6,000 VW campervans and buses of all generations travel from far and wide to pitch up at the festival campsite.
