Beauty Freak – Split Screen: VW bores like to harp on about one-year-only models, but you won’t find a more unique VW built in 1975 than a Fleetline.

Tubular pursuit – Type 25: Splits and Bays are all well and good but, when you want something with character to get to the beach fast, Rob Rees’ Panel Van hits the mark.

Camper fantastic – T5.5: If you have the money, you can buy a top-of-the-line VW Camper from VW, but it won’t be anything like this. The ‘Benleys by Vanworx’ raises the bar again.

Natural beauty – Bay Window: RHD Late Bays might mean rusty to you and I but, when you’re talking about Australian Kombis, it can mean something completely different. This all original Bay is a perfect example.

Too low to go – Split Screen Single Cab: Having driven over 800 miles to get to a show, Mirko Huttker was told by the Austrian police his newly restored Bus wasn’t road legal because it was too low. How bonkers is that?
