VW T2 Crash test - Will's Roadtransport Revival

VW.jpg

Ever wondered what happens when a 1971 VW Transporter has a 30mph head-on collision?
Well this overprinted 'before and after' photo shows exactly what would happen. Although the van is clearly shorter than it used to be, it hasn't fared too badly. According to the info on the back of the press picture the footwell has gone back, but is still large enough, the steering wheel has been pushed forward and the doors have remained closed. Having said that, I don't think I've ever seen anyone brave enough to banger race one.
I bought the picture on eBay a few years ago.

Jason:

I'd like to see a video of that same crash test. I'd like to see how well the vehicle fared and if the passenger(s) survived the impact.
