It’s reliability and longevity has led to huge popularity, especially in Australia where it has reliably performed under the toughest environmental conditions – “Gets you there …. gets you back”! The author, Alexander Wohlfahrt, tells the history of these impressive vehicles, describes the people who drive them and their philosophy of this type of car – whether they use it for fun or business. Last but not least the reader will also find the complete technical specifications of all models and production lines within this highly illustrated book.
