Here's an explanation with pictures
of what the different T's and types mean.

and then click on "History of the VW Vanagon".
On a side note, what's always been a
mystery to me is why the bay window bus list
calls itself the "type 2" list.
A lot of bay window and split window
bus owners think that their models are
the only true type 2's.
Well that's not true.
In addition to the split window and
bay window busses, the vanagon, eurovan,
and new T5 are also all type 2's.
They are also all VW busses, at
least that's what they're called where
they're manufactured.
The names, vanagon and eurovan, were only
invented for the North American consumer.
Everywhere else they are called VW busses
or Caravelles or pickups.
So the vanagons are Type 2 T3.
The big mystery is what does the
"T" stand for?
Some people think it stands for Transporter.
Others think it's not an abbreviation,
and that it is just a big T.
