What is a Bulli?

[sidepod]

I’ve seen these badges on Calis, parked up next to a pristine 4 with a Bulli badge, until now I thought it was 6 thing?

Discuss.

I thought it was perhaps what they called a California in Germany.

It is just nickname for VW vans in Germany. Over here you can pay a 120€ option to have the California badge replaced with a Bulli badge, I didn't bother.

37 quid each on VDub. Tempted. Quite like the point of difference.

[Guide] T6.1 Fitting new wing badges

Since getting my new van and having the @BognorMotors gloss front end i couldnt help but feel the wing badges looked a little out of place These were the only bit of matt plastic around the front of the van so thought they needed to get gone so got myself a set of gloss black/chrome bulli...

First VW Transporters in the '50s were available in two variants: for passengers (Bus) and for transporting goods (Lieferwagen). Bus + Lieferwagen = Bulli. It's a nickname.

I opted for the Bulli option, besides the side badges, you also get a Bulli named light on the sliding door step.

You’ll very frequently find it is the generic term for any small Campervan on the smaller campsites around Germany.

When we lived in Frankfurt with our Westfalia KeplerOne, we would spend weekends up and down the Rhein and Mosel. Almost all sites we booked would refer solely to Bulli when reserving.

Outside of the camping fraternity though, I find it’s a word which is understood on a 50:50 basis. Some people know immediately what you’re referring to, others not a clue!
