The history behind the name

When the very first VW Type 1 rolled off the German production line in 1949, no one could have foreseen the icon it would become.

The first generation split windscreen model also known as “The Splitty” was produced from 1949 to 1967. During this time the humble VW bus had crossed the Atlantic Ocean, becoming a cultural icon in the U.S.

The vehicle’s popularity guaranteed a second generation the T2 Bay, renamed by some as “The Bay window or Bread loaf”. This version was produced from 1967 to 1979 and also became an icon of its own deserving.

What came next was the VW T3, although, for some bizarre reason, these are also known as the T25, this was a total redesign for the VW bus and was completely different in looks and technology. Some models came with more modern upgrades such as air conditioning, redesigned transmission and 4 wheel drive.

When the T3 / T25 was released in the US in 1985, the American buyers thought it looked like a cross between the traditional VW T2 and the very popular American Station Wagon and it was quickly nicknamed a “Vanagon”. It was from this point that people who drove the VW T3 buses were called “Vanagoons”

You guessed it, this is how we settled on our name, however, there are not 21 of us, but the T3 was available in 21 colour combinations, and it seemed to much of a coincidence that we started the company in 2021, plus we really do like the number.
