A Brief Overview Of Post War Volkswagen Cars
At the end of the Second World War the responsibility for Volkswagenwerk is passed to the British Military Government. Major Ivan Hirst took over the war battered factory and began dismantling it in order to bring it back to the UK. However he struggled to find interest from potential British buyers. The company remained in Germany and began producing cars for the British Army. In 1948 control was passed back to Germany and the Type 1 Beetle was born. Production of the Type 1 grew rapidly after a slow start, and the company began designing new models to compliment the Beetle. In March 1950 the now much loved and sought after Type 2 went into production, creating a larger product with more versatility. In 1956 the Transporter, now a hugely popular van with many variants, acquired it's own plant in Hanover. This was the start of the Volkswagen Commercial Vehicle brand we see today.
In 1964 Volkswagen bought Auto Union who owned Audi. In 1969 they also purchased NSU Motorenwerke AG, and merged the two to form the Audi brand we know today. In 1973 the Passat went into production, with a range if engines topping off at 110bhp. In 1974 the first of Volkswagen's now much beloved Golf rolled off the production line at Wolfsburg. The Golf's popularity is almost immediate, and it is crowned the successor to the Beetle. 1975 saw the Polo for the first time, and in 1976 the GTI was added to the Golf line up, now one of Volkswagen's most iconic cars. The sports feel must have appealed to Volkswagen because Scirocco hatchback was released in the same year, a sports car which was relaunched again in 2008 and proved very popular both first and second time round. The 1980s and 1990s were a relatively quiet time for Volkswagen.
The American market fell sharply in the 1980s, rising with the new car introductions, they promptly falling again. In August 2002 the Touareg luxury off roader came into production opening up a whole new market for Volkswagen, the popular high end 4x4 segment. The Touareg was well equipped and more affordable than many other vehicles in this area, with a range of petrol and diesel engines available. In December of the same year the Touran compact van/people carrier was introduced, available with 5 or 7 seats, and proved very popular with families requiring the flexibility of space it offers. Volkswagen's history has been varied and never dull, with new inspiration, wards, and models filling the years. Peter Cooper Volkswagen Group based on the South Coast have a wide range of used Volkswagen cars, as well as all the services you'd expect from a leading main dealership including Volkswagen servicing, body repairs, Motability and more.
