Re: VW Camper vans

I was following a 1972 VW Westfalia across the forest today, it had a for sale sign on the back for £17,950.

Wow what a price for a 41 year van

2014 calenders are in the shops already, I spotted one with all vw camper vans for every month

Re: VW Camper vans

Apparently VW have brought out some remakes in recent years. I only know because a friend hired one a couple of years ago and the hire firm said it was a modern version of the old classic, almost identical but with some modifications to meet today's standards. It looked identical to the vintage ones. Up until then I assumed all the ones on the road were vintage.

They have stopped making the classic "modern version" now, as it does not meet modern safety standards.

Re: VW Camper vans

I regret that nowadays I can't STAND them- as vehicles in themselves, they're great, but the recent cult around them seems to have resulted in an awful lot of obnoxious people owning them. Most of their owners seem to be churlish, unfriendly and rude- as a child I used to long for us to have one, in the end we got a Sprite Musketeer caravan which I much prefer. I live in Malvern in Worcestershire, and the annual 'VanFest' is always held at the Three Counties Showground down the road- and there's ALWAYS trouble there, fights, public disorder, arson, you name it. What IS it about these machines that attracts such troublesome persons?!
If I had to have a dormobile or motorhome, give me a Bedford CA or a Commer any day inpreference to a VW Kombi.
