The Volkswagen T2a Kombi, introduced in 1967, was the successor to the iconic T1 and marked the beginning of the second generation of VW Transporters. Known as the "Bay Window" due to its wide, curved windscreen, the T2a featured improved suspension, increased engine power, and better overall reliability. It retained the rear-engine, air-cooled layout and became a popular choice for families, businesses, and travellers alike. Widely associated with the counterculture movement of the late 1960s and 1970s, the T2a became a symbol of freedom and adventure. Its versatility and charm helped establish Volkswagen's reputation for durable, people-focused design. Today, the T2a Kombi is celebrated as a beloved classic, often restored and cherished by collectors and vintage camper enthusiasts across the world.
