CHEQUERED FLAG

Silver Celebrations

In a true Volkswagen Bus Club Nederland (VWBCN) tradition they organised not one but two meetings in 2019, one in spring and one in autumn to mark 25 years since the founding of the club.

Transporter In Disguise

Looking like something from a Transformer’s Movie it’s hard to believe that this rad custom flatbed started life as an early T5 dropside single cab …

Fifties Fire Fighter

Nowadays it’s rare to come across an emergency vehicle that has not been messed with or turned into a camper. The T1 Fire Truck in this story is such a survivor and is in almost the same and original condition as it was driving around in the Netherlands from Day 1.

Custom Campmobile

This 1973 Campmobile combines blends stock and subtle custom styling touches to make one very distinctive looking camper.

This Month In The Workshop

The start of the year and another month when we are running flat out in the workshop so many things to do and as usual not enough hours in the day

Whilst in East Anglia with ‘George’, his trusty T6 camper, Mike Trippitt goes looking for seals along the shores of north Norfolk and finds Mr. Bean Mike Trippitt

Natural Progression

When you start to convert vans as a hobby and your first four Transporters are T4s, then it makes perfect sense that your fifth van is a T5

Living with Low-Pros

Earlier this year we fitted some ‘new to market’ Low Pro coil-overs from Tux Auto Design to a T5 – we wanted to know how are they holding up?

It's a Kinda Magic

If you’ve seen Diana Brown’s striking yellow T4 ‘Phoenix’ which featured on the cover of issue 80 then you will very likely also have met ‘Merlin’

It's a Metal thing

When you’re a confirmed biker, campers aren’t really under consideration, but life can sometimes intervene and make you change direction

Rag Top Re-Birth

VW buses are increasingly popular as the choice to make a special day even more special; unlike many however, this one has been designed and lovingly restored from the ground up by its owner.

Dubs At The Castle

Dubs in a haunted castle - what more could you want?

Ready For Adventure

Looking at this metallic green syncro with its rugged, ready for adventure looks, it’s hard to believe that until last year it was a white beast complete with full length fixed high roof camper!

New Kids On The Block

Jona and Melissa Turner had never owned a VW before this T6, but they are already lapping Europe in 'Klaus' like seasoned veterans

Endless Summer VW Show

It was touch and go whether the weather would allow this to be another Endless Summer show, or not

RE:CREATION

THE JUMP

It’s been 12 years in the making, but now Ashley Farazmand’s incredible Mk2 Harrier has raised the Escort show car game a level — or three.

Pop Rocks

The 100E was a humble and sensible thing when it launched back in the 1950s. But Rich Lakey’s radically-reworked 1959 example catapults the Pop into the 21st century — its 380 bhp turbo power ensuring that it rocks on every measurable scale…

OUT OF THIS WORLD

With outlandish wings and 460 bhp, 1.4-litre engines, the amazing Zakspeed Capris looked, sounded and drove like nothing else on earth.

FIESTA FINESSED

Aiden Powell always knew what his first car was going to be, and now this Mk1 Finesse is just the way he wants it.
