The first July Fair was held in Valencia in Valencia in 1871 and lasted for just few days in 2015. More than a million marigolds fly through the air at the traditional Battle of the Flowers. Elaborately decorated floats pass up and down the Paseo de la Alameda in the city centre, as crowds throw flowers at their occupants. They in turn attempt to defend themselves with tennis rackets and other improvised shields , whilst returning fire with more orange and yellow blossoms.

From the beginning, the Type 2 has earned many nicknames from its fans like splittie, split, microbus, micro, transporter, bulli, samba and transporters. German production stopped after the 1967 model year, however, the T1 still was made in Brazil until 1975. The Bus became a major counterculture symbol during the hippie era in the United States. At present, there are many splitties restored by their fans and owners.
