Motormax item 79581 is a 1:24 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 delivery van finished in pink-and-blue metallic paint with Love graphics. The bright color split and counterculture-style decoration make it a display piece first, while opening doors and hood, rubber tires and steerable front wheels add hands-on detail.
The complete item number is important because Motormax has produced multiple Volkswagen Type 2 models and graphic themes. For this release, match 79581, the delivery-van body and the pink-and-blue Love finish.

Why the delivery-van body suits the graphics
The Type 2 panel van has broad side surfaces that give the Love artwork room to read clearly. A side view shows the graphic treatment best, while a front three-quarter angle adds the split windshield, rounded nose and color transition.
Metallic pink and blue change with lighting. Soft white light preserves the two-color distinction without pushing the pink too orange or the blue too purple. A neutral backdrop is usually more effective than another strongly patterned display.
Using the opening hood and doors
Opening features make the van more interesting at close range, but they also increase the required shelf clearance. Support the model on a level surface and move one panel at a time.
- Open the doors slowly and stop at their natural hinge limit.
- Lift the hood only from the intended edge.
- Do not carry the van with any panel open.
- Keep fingers away from printed graphics when handling the body.
- Close every panel before dusting or returning the model to its package.
The exact door arrangement should be confirmed from the gallery and model in hand. Do not force a visible seam that is not designed to move.
Using the steerable front wheels
A slight steering angle gives the van a relaxed parked stance and can make a front three-quarter display feel more natural. Adjust both wheels gently rather than twisting one tire sharply. Return the wheels close to straight before repacking the model.
For a show-style display, angle the wheels toward the viewer and open one front door. This reveals the cabin while preserving most of the side artwork.
Planning the shelf space
An approximately eight-inch model needs more than eight inches of depth if displayed diagonally. Add side clearance for open doors and overhead clearance for the hood. The tall van body also benefits from a shelf position where the roof graphics and upper color treatment can be seen.
A simple retro roadside, music-festival or custom-van backdrop can support the theme. Keep props in the same 1:24 range so the Type 2 does not appear undersized or oversized beside figures and accessories.
Arrival and condition checklist
- Confirm item 79581 and UPC 661732795819.
- Match the pink-and-blue metallic Love graphics to the product image.
- Inspect the windshield frame, mirrors, door edges and roof before unpacking fully.
- Set the van on a level surface and confirm even tire contact.
- Test the steerable wheels with light pressure.
- Open each identified panel once and confirm that it closes correctly.
- Keep the original window box and fitted insert for transport.
Who this van suits
Motormax 79581 is a strong fit for Volkswagen Type 2 collectors, 1:24 custom-van displays, retro graphic collections and gift buyers who want a colorful model with opening features. It is less suitable for someone seeking a factory-stock commercial livery or a sealed resin model.
Final identification check
The correct release is the Motormax 1:24 Volkswagen Type 2 T1 Love delivery van in pink-and-blue metallic, item 79581.
