It's a Volkswagen Plattenwagen. Built in the late 1940's and used as a works truck at the Volkswagen factory in Wolfsburg. They were never sold to the public but were partly the inspiration for the transporter.

The story goes- in Holland at least - that the Transporter was the brain child of VW-importer Ben Pon, still importing VW, after he saw this on a visit to the factory.

That's the way the story goes in Germany, too.

That's the story, but Austin didn't say something wrong, did he?
