THING

In 1973 and 1974, 28,930 units of the VW Thing were exported to the United States. These models are essentially the standard Type 181 Thing. There were however some differences compared to the Safari model. This includes equipment Complete emission engine, following the chassis number was the letter X, for export and the central door pillar left a sticker the U.S. DOT. Initially, they should be styled VW Type 181 but wanted the model to be known as Safari. Unfortunately General Motors 'belongs' Use the "Safari" in the U.S. market, having used on Pontiac Station Wagon 1955.

With this Volkswagen of America, therefore resolved to call the Type 181 as "The Thing". The official title has been supported in the literature and VW in 42 states records DMV. The VW Thing was sold in Canada and in several other countries, they were transferred from the United States after delivery.

TYPE 182 (Trekker)

The VW Thing in RHD format was produced for the UK market, while the demonstrators, special order or for military use in countries where the right-hand drive is standard and was designated the Type 182. Only a small number of type 182s were produced and type 182 was officially sold in Britain by VW dealers in 1974-75, under the name "Trekker." This follows a competition organized by Volkswagen UK to "name the car" because of opposition to the dealers' VW Thing "name. Press reports at the time only 300 were imported are contradicted by records of surviving chassis numbers showing less than 100. This is probably due to inflated prices and thus did not sell very well. Made in Mexico (not Germany), generally to 1974 specification thing, but with the rear-lights European and flashing before.

BMW 3/20 $70.1 High Quality Content by WIKIPEDIA articles The BMW 3/20 PS was the first BMW automobile designed entirely by BMW. It was manufactured from 1932 to 1934, replacing the 3/15 model that was initially an Austin 7 manufactured under licence from the Austin Motor Company. The engine used in the 3/20 was based on the Austin Seven engine used in the 3/15, but its crankshaft ran in plain bearings instead of roller bearings and had an 80 mm (3.1 in) stroke, generating a displacement of 788 cc (48.1 cu in). The new engine design also had a water pump and an overhead valve cylinder head. These design changes caused the engine to generate 20 hp, but did not change the taxable horsepower rating of 3 PS, thus giving the model designation 3/20. The 3/20 was larger than the 3/15, with an 84.6 in (2,149 mm) wheelbase and a body 3 in (76 mm) lower than the 3/15. It inherited the 3/15 DA4s independent front suspension and added a swing axle independent rear suspension, using a transverse leaf spring similar to that used at the front.

Car Model $81.25 An automobile model is a particular brand of vehicle sold under a marque by a manufacturer, usually within a range of models, usually of different sizes or capabilities. From an engineering point of view, a particular car model is usually defined and/or constrained by the use of a particular car chassis/bodywork combination or the same monocoque, although sometimes this is not the case, and the model represents a marketing segment.This engineering frame may have derivatives, giving rise to more than one body style for a particular car model. For example, the same model can be offered as a fourdoor sedan, a twodoor coupe, a station wagon, or even as a foldingroof convertible, all derived from essentially the same engineering frame. An example of this is the BMW 3series.
