VW T3 box van high roof "PTT"

Swiss postal service held this rear-engine “Bulli” in high regard

There was hardly a package that was not transported by the VW transporter in the Alpine Republic of the post-war decades - the delivery staff traversing the mountains swore by the different generations of this vehicle and came to appreciate the rear engine turning the rear axle as a guarantee for smooth traction - especially in the wintertime. Now miniaturised by WIKING as a high roof version, the VW T3 in the service of the PTT ended up being the last generation of this particular VW design concept. The post-war automotive history of the Swiss postal service is closely linked to the WIKING model history. Again and again, the postal models were furnished with the PTT logo commensurate with the Swiss originals and thus elevated to the sovereign postal service.
