VW/Lamar – other models: the collective page of vans with special bodywork outside the named ranges, Bus and Crafter, 2,500 to 3,500 kg gross weight, 1,888 to 1,968 cc displacement
This page gathers vehicles on a Volkswagen chassis listed in the register with bodywork by Lamar, without assignment to a named range – alongside the base type Crafter, the general designation Bus stands here for a further vehicle on a VW base. Such combinations of a VW chassis with bodywork from a third party are often listed in registration records under the bodybuilder's name alongside the base marque.

The register lists here 2 versions with a displacement of 1,888 to 1,968 cc, 4 cylinders, unladen weights from 1,600 to 2,415 kg, gross weights from 2,500 to 3,500 kg and widths from 1,850 to 2,280 mm.
With gross weights of 2.5 to 3.5 tonnes, both versions fall into vehicle category N1, the light commercial vehicle segment; the span from a more compact Bus-based vehicle to the larger Crafter shows how varied special bodywork on the VW range can be. The designation Bus refers to the VW van chassis regardless of the specific bodywork fitted; in both cases the drivetrain and running gear come from the base VW vehicle.
On a used example, besides the usual points such as the turbocharger, dual-mass flywheel and the condition of the diesel particulate filter, on units with special bodywork the tightness and condition of the body, the function of any additional wiring fitted, and corrosion at the mounting points between chassis and body all matter. Parts for the chassis drivetrain run through the VW commercial-vehicle trade.
