The 1:76 scaleVW T5, which in real life superseded the T4, promises to be as versatile as its predecessor in the uses to which it can be put. VW launched the T5 in 2003 and it lasted right up until 2015. It appears in a striking dark blue colour scheme with pale grey interior, registered DK13 YKG. It features a wealth of windows with surrounds masked black, ensuring a panoramic view of the passing scenery for its enthusiastic occupants. Other trim is finished in chrome/silver. Our camper also retains the characteristic sliding nearside door (non-opening) for its camping passengers, revealing a roomy interior for campers, pets and baggage.
