Radical change of direcion for tlb -

Poptop2 · Oct 25, 2011

Excuse the pipe and slippers however I am still struggling with 1972 - 2012 years being included in that way as the T2 history is;

(as liberated from another website) In late 1967, the second generation of the Volkswagen Type 2 (T2) was introduced. It was built in Germany until 1979. In Mexico, the Volkswagen Combi and Panel were produced from 1970 to 1994. Models before 1971 are often called the T2a (or "prototype"), while models after 1972 are called the T2b (or "Late Bay").

So born between 1972 - 1979 may be more acceptable

Perhaps it is just me however when I stick something on my bus in 2014 to mark its 40th birthday it will need to be relevant to 1974 or 2014

i think this is a classic technohippy stirring post , i can see his jaws ready to take the bait , we are thelatebay.com because our vans are the second geneation type 2 b , 1972 --- , see techno , baybirmingham etc for technical details modifications etc

You really are raising the bar a bit, Dean. This should be like The Olympics. No professionals allowed to compete.
Like your designs weren't good enough, you had to go and do the whole professional presentation bit.

ok just a thought and shout at me if you like. the change occured in 72 with crossovers although they started making high front indicators in 72 ready for 73 model so we are right with the 40 years whichever way we go. we have a display at camperjam next year too

should the image be of front or rear of the bus? if it's about the square vents and high rear lights it should be of the rear. if it's about the start of the 73 model it should be the front. just want to get story straight when the pipe and slipper brigade ask

and i'm loving the designs

Mine , diddys n the wilmas i think , were made in 72 and came with high front indicators .

Yes... and I don't think you can be that specific or you could say the TLB logo was wrong and that you can't show a van at all ever as it might not have something right with it.

You could get really into specifics and say you can't show steering wheels attached to vans cause some people have LH and some RH also some have pops and some have racks and some have badges and some have wheels on the front. Some are high and some low.
At the end of the day everyone knows what a bay essentially is and mix it up as you like and its still a bay...... we appreciate others and our own and we love um

sorry to be picky.... but you're creating a logo for the 72 crossover at 40 and using a 73 > frontpanel .....

that sort of thing makes my buffer's pipe twitch !

As I understand it, it's not really all about the 72's. It's all about The Late Bay, as a group, finally getting a foot across the 40 year threshold.

Just to clarify. I think the TLB logo is spot on just that it also has high indicators on the logo so you could say that's incorrect too but we all know it's not incorrect for the sack of half a year when the indicators where low.

Ps I love the TLB logo loads and love your van, it's amazing
