Vehicle Description
This 1971 Volkswagen Transporter, part of the second-generation "Bay Window" series, featured a distinctive V-shaped front, a single-piece curved windshield, and a large sliding side door. It was powered by a rear-mounted, air-cooled flat-four engine and came in various body styles, including the Microbus (officially called "Station Wagon" by this generation), and was known for its spacious interior and rear-wheel drive.
Historical context:
- This model year belongs to the second generation (T2) of the VW Type 2 Transporter, which was produced in Germany from 1967 to 1979.
- The second generation was more conservative than the first but proved popular, maintaining the rear-engine design that was initially introduced with the VW Beetle.
- The "Microbus" name was officially replaced by "Station Wagon" for the passenger version in this generation, although it is still commonly referred to as a Microbus.
- Connectivity: Supports Bluetooth for wireless audio streaming and hands-free calling.
The 1971 Volkswagen Transporter Microbus was equipped with a rear-mounted, air-cooled 1.6-liter flat-four engine. This model year marked a significant upgrade, introducing a dual-port version of the 1600cc engine which increased horsepower to about 50 bhp. The previous model years typically had a single-port version of the same engine.
Engine specifications:
- Engine type: Rear-mounted, air-cooled, flat-four
- Displacement: 1.6 liters
- Horsepower: Approximately 50 bhp (due to dual-port design)
- Torque: 80−87lb-ft
- Transmission: 4-speed manual
- Key feature: This model year was the first to introduce a dual-port design for its 1600cc engine, a change that boosted power and coincided with the adoption of front disc brakes for the first time on the Type 2.
