Nice! here's another tourist receipt for comparison.
You got a good year and a Bakersfield body - you can't get much better than that. Keep us updated.

It would be the wrong forum...but I have the tourist delivery documents for my 412.
It was built for an American school teacher in Frankfurt....equipped for eventual delivery to the US. Driven for a year in Germany and France and then shipped out of Oslo Norway. I can scan and post if you would like. Ray |

Note:
M-code UT = USA (Tourist Program)
If you have UT as pictured on your M-plate, it was a Tourist Delivery.

VW's version of dinner with a show.  Paid program that includes you buying a bus with a European vacation program - including shipping your bus back home. The single most awesome, romantic, nostalgic thing the first owner of your bus could of done back int the day.

For anybody else who has a tourist delivery vehicle, though, I did find the April 1970 shipping cost sheet. I've inlcuded it here, but I'll send it to Everett for the archives/literature/tourist delivery page as well, because I don't see one there.
Our bus was shipped from Bremerhaven (Bremen harbor) Germany to Boston USA, so the grid shows costs for shipping a T2 campmobile was $158, then I think $27 for US port handling, wharfage and custom clearance. The back of this page has my dad's handwriting doing the math for 3200 times 0.07 = $224.00, so he was figuring out the 7% federal excise tax also due.
There's a 1969 form in the Tourist Delivery literature section:
http://www.thesamba.com/vw/archives/lit/1969pricelist_tourist.php
where
Page 3 (bottom left) shows a basic campmobile is $2565
plus campmobile equipment is $625
or plus campmobile equipment with pop-up top and luggage rack is $985
or plus campmobile equipment with pop-up top, luggage rack and tent is $1125
So a full '69 campmobile would have cost $3690. I assume that is all is USD because of the dollar sign in that brochure?
Then page 6 of that same brochure shows delivery prices, and for example shows another $112 for shipping a vehicle to London for pickup.
But there is no similar brochure posted for 1971.
So why was my dad calculating 7% of $3200? Was US Federal excise tax only on the base vehicle and camping equipment, but not on the camping equipment upgrades?
Anybody got any specific price sheet info in their tourist delivery papers that might help clear up what total costs would be? |
