Its that time of the year when I have to renew a few of my rental fleet, and Ive been a bit braver on colours this time round. I have ordered a fully loaded 180 Bi-Turbo kombi van in Candy White, with the full Sportline look, and just for a laugh have ordered a toffee brown panel van with appearance pack - This colour looks great on the T5, but I'll guess we'll only find that out when I sell it on!
-
Toffee brown! you could always sell it to become an ice-cream van :wink:
-
It sounds terrible, but really suits the van. I'll try and find a pic.

Looks sweet :wink:

I like the Brown.
Went to the current Passat launch in Majorca a few years back and all of the cars there were in Mocha and they looked ace in the sun! :happy2:

Here is a link to clearer pics;

The toffee van will just be a standard panel van with appearance pack(colour coding), the white 180, will have all the bells and whistles, and Im quite liking the idea of the ABT front spoiler, as well!
-
That colours alright.

I'm loving that Mocha brown colour. That VW van would look good on Monza's too :evilgrin:

Apart from the weight rating of the monzas!!
We are having the multispoke wheels as on the caravelle below - In fact Im liking the colour so much we might have the Kombi in toffee brown now instead!

Haha, because I own a car and van rental business, and we only run top spec vehicles! I love it, I buy 30+ new vehicles a year, I get that new car feeling, over and over again!
-

-
And you wouldn't believe it but I still get excited about some of the nicer vehicles that we run, when they arrive! And get sleepless nights with my own cars, which seem to change every 6 months or so!
-
I love the Mocha Brown (4Q4Q?), I actually I having my brown T3 repainted and would love to update it to this colour. Any chance you know the paint code or where I could find them?
Thanks --- Austin

Oli, I'm getting a relex silver Transporter at the end of December. Did'nt get any say in the toys so it is poverty spec 102 SWB with full bulkhead , ply lining and bluetooth which is ok I suppose. :smiley: Was going to go for toffee brown myself if I was allowed the appearance pack. :sick:
Would you happen to know if they come with an armrest for the driver and if not , can they be retofitted? :happy2:
-
You have to spec the armrests - £50 option. Expensive to retrofit.
I've also got one of the new Sportlines coming when they release them.

I've got a facelift caddy on order, but it won't look that bling........unfortunately!

Hi Oli, have you seen a facelift Caddy in the flesh so to speak? I'm waiting for my works Vauxhall Disastra van to be replaced. I was told our fleet department are waiting until this November for the facelift Caddys to hit the streets. Some of my colleagues are running the current Caddy model. Just wondered if there was much difference, especially inside? All VW facelift vans seem to be going for the more aggressive, less rounded look on the exterior which I quite like.
Also, will you be permitting your camper van cusotmers to take your vans into continental Europe? I'm off to watch the Tour de France in the Pyrenees next July and I reckon your vans might be just the ticket for the trip down!
Cheers.
-
Only seen pics of the facelift, similar to the T5 so not a massive difference. New engines though.
Ref the European rental, no problem - it is an extra £15 per day and a one off payment of £30 for European hires. Drop me an email for more details.
