 We have had a wonderful time with this bus and it has taken our family on a lot of trips.  We have now outgrown it and would like to see it go to someone who will continue to care for it and use it. It has been fixed up over the years by two different owners and looks and runs nice.  This is not a showroom bus but it turns heads and gets lots of compliments.  The paint was done a few years ago as well as a new hemp canvas pop-top.  The bus has the double bed with a cot in the pop-top and a child's cot in the front (all included).  It also comes with an add-a-room tent with privacy cabin that attaches to the side door of the bus.  The tent is very well made and can stand alone from the vehicle.  The colour of the bus and the tent look very nice together, not the ugly bus colours you often see.  Check out the add-a-room tent at busdepot.com/details/addaroom/

The bus has a unique European seating layout and a propane refrigerator has been added.  Another plus with this bus is that it has the factory installed Eberspacher gas heater in the back that runs on a timer.  The heater can be used when driving or when parked camping.   We replaced the engine with a 2.0 and it is running great.  It has more power and is much quieter than the 1600 we drove all over the country.  The tires are in good shape.  Custom curtains and wood flooring give this bus a sweet style.

We will include lots of receipts, manuals and books including a John Muir How to Keep Your Volkswagon Alive Manual and a Bentley Manual.

See pics of rust on front floor boards and in back under the battery.  The door panels in the front could be replaced and also the wood panel on the back hatch and a little of the plastic trim around cabinets.  The window crank is broken off the sliding door.  Driver's seat is ripped, passengers seat is not.  Back upholstery is looking good. The bus runs and drives great.  No drive train problems.  It has the typical VW oil drip.  Mileage exceeds odometer limits.

Volkswagen drops "GTi" lawsuit against Suzuki

Tue, 02 Oct 2012

Way back in 2004, Volkswagen took umbrage with Suzuki being granted permission to use the nameplate "SWIFT GTi" for a performance variant of its small-car offering (2012 equivalent seen here). Now, eight years and surely some very steep legal bills later, VW has finally dropped its claim against Suzuki.
The General Court of the European Union stated, back in March of this year, that Suzuki's GTi registration could not be confused with VW's "Golf GTI." Volkswagen had appealed that ruling, though has now reportedly called off the dogs. In fact, Germany's Die Welt reports that the appeal has been dead for several weeks now.
This news comes amongst continued arbitration acrimony between the two automakers, all revolving around VW's forced divestiture of nearly 20-percent stake it purchased in Suzuki some two years ago.

Carlex Criollo is a Volkswagen Multivan shrine to Alcantara, leather and... fish

Wed, 10 Jul 2013

A keen angler recently went to Polish tuner Carlex Design (the same folks who did that steampunk Mini Countryman a while back) for a revamp of his Volkswagen Multivan. What resulted is perhaps the most striking - yet fishing-unfriendly - interior we've ever seen in a van. Below the shoulder line, if a surface isn't covered in cross-stitched Alcantara, then it's covered in cross-stitched leather. Even the steering wheel airbag boss. And the seat supports. And the cupholders.
The brown hue of the Multivan's interior is called Criollo, named for an especially fine specimen of cocoa. The finishing touch on the overhaul is a fileting knife that Carlex made for the owner. We imagine he'll use the knife for the marine life, but keep his van far away from it.

VW says it has sold over 100,000 TDI diesels in America this year

Thu, 26 Dec 2013

Volkswagen Group of America has lit oil-burning fireworks to celebrate the sales of more than 100,000 TDI Clean Diesel vehicles in the US between its VW and Audi brands this year. According to VW, that means it is responsible for more than 75 percent of diesel-engined cars and SUVs sold here - perhaps not surprising when the two brands offer a total of 12 diesel models.
What might be surprising is that the number of diesels isn't far off the estimated sales of 90,000 battery electric vehicles and PHEVs, with 15,000 of those accounted for by the Tesla Model S, another 12,000 or so being the Toyota Prius PHEV.
VW's keen to play up the ease of making diesel part of your life, stressing that it doesn't need any change to the refueling infrastructure and that "this is a technology delivering real answers to society's concerns about fuel consumption and greenhouse gas emissions without compromises."
