Today much appreciated, the camping-car on the Bay-Window basis was an option sold by the Volkswagen sales network. Very well equipped, it became a symbol.

The evolution of this model is quite shy. The Type 4 engine with 1800 cm3 is still in the catalog and that does not help the Type 4 carburation with 1700 cm3 engine. We note however that on the Deluxe version, aluminium side mouldings appear on the body, with rubber inserts.

This moulding is positioned lower than previously, and disappears on the tail-gate. This change, not very beautiful, will not meet the expected success and most people will prefer the " naked " version. On the Micro Deluxe version, the sun-visors are now black.

The steering direction is modified and the bolts that fix it on the front face automatically break themselves in case of an accident, allowing the column to move forward if the driver hits the steering-wheel.
