Its a German thing they have about numbers.

FW 190
Messerschmitt 109
Junkers 88

The poor Stuka must have felt awful without a number to its name.

Stuka 87

Was not the number for a Stuka 87!

Stuka was a Junkers and had a number too... 80 something I think

As for the VW Transporters for rob, trot along to

Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia

Under company highlights are links to all the T numbers with photos.

Yep, especially when the later generation type 2 was called the T3. I never quite realised that till I looked at the wiki website

Anyway the VW transporters are like Apple Mac computers... nice machines but over-hyped with a cult following who will believe anything the company puts out and woe betide if you tell them otherwise

and woe betide if you tell them otherwise

You are correct.I believe a Polish chap did just that in 1939.
