DynaMike ◊ 2008-07-23 22:01	Strange front indicators, strange colour-scheme... Was the name really 'Transporter Kombi', not rather just 'Kombi'?
valiant1962 ◊ 2008-07-24 04:32	T1, not T2 - Oops. I knew that, just a brain freeze I don't think Type 2s were assembled here. I will have to check. The official name was Transporter I guess but they are commonly known in Aust as Kombi's, even the models that weren't officially Kombinationskraftwagens were called that here
