Especially for the researcher, the Volkswagen Caravelle was converted. The car served him for 11 years.

In the UK, a 1988 Volkswagen T3 Caravelle, long owned by famous British theoretical physicist Stephen Hawking, will go under the hammer at the Silverstone auction. This is stated on the auction house’s website.

As you know, Hawking has motor neuron disease and over time he was confined to a wheelchair. Therefore, he needs a special car, and the interior of this minivan is spacious enough to carry a passenger in a wheelchair. Mounts and a special retractable ramp are equipped for this.

However, in 1995, the Volkswagen became his wedding car. But later, the scientist needed a larger wheelchair.

To date, the mileage of the Volkswagen Caravelle is about 145 thousand km.

It will be remembered that Hawking died in March 2018. He was 76 years old.
