VW Transporter - The Complete History & The Yorkshire Connection

The UNKNOWN British Connection 🙋🏼‍♂️70 Years of VW Transporter History
From T1 to T6: The Evolution of VW Transporter in the UK and the NEW T7 Coming Soon

The history of the VW Transporter Van and Campervan is very interesting and something not everyone is aware of. If it wasnt for the British Military, Major Ivan Hirst and Ben Pon, we may never have seen the vehicles we have.
A remarkable story, worth investigating fully if you are interested in the history.

🙋🏼‍♂️Many people are NOT aware of this (Sorry if you are)

Whether you have a T5, VW T5.1, T6, T6.1 or even an older T2, T2.5, T4, the VW Vanlife scene is amazing, with so much help and assistance available for whatever project you wish to attempt. Panel van, Kombi, Converted Camper or VW California Beach or Ocean, enjoy the freedom van life brings.

The @Staycation Lifestyle van conversion is coming along.

I bought a VW Transporter T6 Kombi Highline van 140bhp diesel SWB with tailgate.

I have lots more to do though, I have a new electrical system, using Victron components and a Lithium LIFEPO4 battery, so I obviously need to install some power devices. I have a new sound system, with Focal speakers and ibus 2.1 amp, Playstation PS4, which is removable, TV's on headrests.

Lots for me to look forward too and it would be nice to take you on the journey.
Vanlife is amazing, get out and explore, it's a great adventure.
There are many great camper adventures to come

Thanks must go to the following:
Transporter HQ for my tailgate struts

Amazon Audible is great for listening to books on longer journeys, I have used it for years.

UK ENJOYS 70 YEARS OF VOLKSWAGEN TRANSPORTER PRACTICALITY AND STYLE is the headline from VW Press and this sums it up perfectly. The van for all seasons, all purposes, the daily driver and weekend hotel.

They just kept the name, In the fifties it was called a Bedford CA and now it's called a Vauxhall Vivaro, better then and better now.
