Жыл бұрынWhat an incredible day! So many stunning early Transporters, so many awesome people and all to support a great charity www.cruse.org.uk
Thank you to all that came, I know some traveled from the other side of the country and even some from The Netherlands and Belgium. You guys are the ones that made this such a special event.
Thank you to all the team at Transporter HQ for working so hard behind the scenes and in the lead up to the BBQ.
Finally thank you to the admin team at Resist the Lift for approaching me about putting on this event. Same again next year?
I hope you enjoy the video and these guys show you how special a pre-facelift Transporter can look.

I spent sooooo many years in the beetle scene trying to make them look older. I have just bought my first T5 and it baffles me how many are face lifted! The OG front is by far the best looking and, in my opinion, was the golden era for modern VW's. Mk4/T5/B5/6X/6N. The build quality compared to what all the other gen pop manufacturers were making was amazing! And what they did for the Turbo diesel movement!! Crazy! The only one of those I haven't owned is the Lupo... My T5 is a Caravelle SE, but my heart lies with the commercial front. Love a black bumper and orange indicators! 😂

@@stevebennett6727 100%. It's very tongue on cheek what I say about facelifts. I totally understand why people want to do it. I just hope some can resist so the original look is still around for when they're the next classic. Pre-facelift are currently increasing on value, while the later models are going down in value. I know it's not all about money though. We own these things for the lifestyle and we all get to make them individual on our own ways.
@stevebennett6727 Жыл бұрын
Agreed. Mine T5 is an 06 2.5 174 and it looked boring so face lifted it, lowered it and have spent a fortune on it but we love the look and the way it drives. Some mates would only ever have a T4 but they ain’t for me either 😂😂
