The Volkswagen Type 2 (T3) was the third generation of the Volkswagen Transporter and was marketed under various nameplates worldwide - including as the Transporter or Caravelle in Europe, Microbus in South Africa and as the Vanagon in North and South America.

Larger and heavier than its predecessor, the T2 - and with a more squared and less rounded styling - the T3 was manufactured in Germany from 1979 until 1992.

South African production of the T2 continued, for that market only, until 2002. The T3 was the last of the rear-engined Volkswagens.
