A little about the VW history

VW is all about being the best



VW, as if you have not heard of them. An unbelievably fantastic car producer. This company has plenty of cars both ingenious and historic. For example the classic VW Beetle. This was the first vehicle to come off of the production line. This model is still available nowadays, however it is a more modern shape.

VW was setup in 1937. Curiously what made this company come around had a little something to do with Hitler and his Nazi movement. Automobile s in Germany were up market and what goes with posh is a high price tag. This meant they were only purchased by those who could afford it. What Hitler asked for was a car to be built that was of a fairly basic budget design and had the ability to carry two grown ups and 2 children in some kind of comfort and safety. This car is defiantly a VW classic and is quite collectible with plenty of organizations and websites attributing to the Beetle. Even though this somewhat iconic automobile bought VW plenty of success in 1973 the business was heading into trouble, the type 3 and type 4 automobiles they’d released were bought in much smaller units than the Beetle which to had huge reductions in purchaser. Fortunately VW owned Audi, who of course produced water cooled engines and helped pave the route for the huge success that was to come for vw.

We welcomed the Passatt in late 1973, basically a fast back version of the Audi 80. Soon to follow was the Scirrocco in 74. This car was based on the soon to come Golf. VW's pride and joy was the Golf. This car was to become of the greatest vehicles of all time. It modeled wonderful Italian style for looks and of course utterly superb build quality and reliability from the Germans. This automobile has been around for 38 yrs and continues to be favourite amongst the drivers and enthusiasts.
The late 1990’s is when VW took over three hyper car makers, these were Bentley, Bugatti and Lamborghini. This was massive for VW and they lost not a second. Audi quickly released a slimmed down Lamborghini range such as the Gallardo’s. Bentley reached heights with the Continental range, this had record revenues for Bentley at 10000. As for Bugatti, well it is all about the super Veyron with its record breaking top speed of 254 mph.

When you look at Volks Wagen’s history, it truly is a colourful example with plenty of adorable cars makes and models zipping about.
A vehicle company with all this in its portfolio really does point out to us that they are a wise choice to buy from. Yes they are not the cheapest but even second hand automobiles that don the VW logo are proven to be one of the best buys.

    The concept ORIGINATED with the Nazi scum bag, Adolf Hitler, who demanded a cheap design that would fulfill Hitler's "Master Race" concept.

    Today, unthinking, (ignorant??), materialistic people in the USA, England, France who do NOT wish to be BOTHERED by the "distant" past...buy the VW !
