A brief history of Volkswagen
Volkswagen has been making cars in the UK since 1949. The UK has always been an important market for the German automaker and it remains so today.
Volkswagen's first car sold in Britain was the Volkswagen Type 1 (Beetle) in 1949. The Beetle was a huge success, with over 21 million produced by 1970. It was not until 1972 that another VW model – the Passat – was launched in Britain. In 1974, Volkswagen established a factory at Westmoreland near London to assemble cars from German-made parts shipped to Britain by ferry or lorry.
The Golf replaced the Beetle as Volkswagen's most popular model in Europe by the early 1980s and became hugely successful in Britain too. However, its sales took a sharp downturn after the launch of its successor, the Polo, which went on sale in 1994. By this time, British buyers were more interested in smaller cars due to high petrol prices and changing lifestyles than ever before – making it easier for rivals such as Ford's Fiesta and Vauxhall's Astra to compete with VW's Golf and Passat models.
