The name is CitrOEN. Marty you are forgiven for having a liking for the Gallic design. As for the VW variants, why make a BAD thing worse?  Nev

Yeah, but mistaking a lemon for a Citroen leaves a sour taste in the mouth.

They are sometimes called worse things but the ID 19 was something very different and innovative. Nev

I think the ID19 and DS21 were the most radical, advanced vehicles in spite of all the knockers.

NOW , that's looks Great. & works better than a " standard Hitch " , but it takes the ' tray away from the " Ute " .

I dont see how it provides a whole lot of extra space compared to just using the original camper

That VW has an engine in the front 

[facthunter]

I don't see how one could fit it there and have the suspension and driveshafts. It wouldn't be very fast. The original Kombi wasn't, even by itself.  You never saw them pulling anything. Nev

And nobody  picked up that the two pictures  were of totally  different  projects.

Top pic was about  1970-ish twin cab tug, relatively standard.

Bottom pic was split screen 1950-ish, radically reinvented.

[nomadpete]

But either vehicle  couldn't  pull the skin off grandma's rice puddin.

 

When they were new, every weekend you could expect a kombi holding back the queue of cars heading for the beach.

[spacesailor]

Not much space in a ' single cab Ute ' . Towing a ' caravan ' .

In NZ Always a hold up on the steep hills. ' just another " dub-dub " !.

Until

We got that " Holden Commadore,  with it's crash 1st gear ! .

Then it was a stop-start queue.

Best bumper sticker I ever saw was on the back of an old Kombi - "QUIT HONKIN'!  I'M PEDALLING AS FAST AS I CAN!!"
