Manufacturer description

This popular version of the VW is synonymous with surfboards and here in Swansea, we've seen plenty of them on their way 'down the Gower' to the surfing beaches of Langland, Rhosilli and Llangennith.

Our model, registered WAF 905J, has a modified roof rack painted in brown and silver to take the two orange and white surfboards. The two tone VW bay window bus has a black chassis and beige interior, rounded off with a wealth of 'chrome' and black masking. Get those wetsuits on - here comes summer!
