      The Velle is awesome mate. I've got a 2000 panel van for work. The Velle is hands down far superior. Had ours for 14 years. It's a part of the family. So many family hols and photos. 🤙🏻

    T4 1997 2,5 petrol, 115 hp, 123000 km on the meter, homebuild camper interior, I’m proud what I did to It in two years during the pandemic. Now I enjoy it 100%.

    Found my T4 Westfalia with the Kitchen and pop-up top for £250. They are old, yes - but easy to maintain and still easy to get parts.

    I am a Vivaro owner and big fan, but fair play to you guys you have done well...and you have a pride and joy and that the main thing. Brings a smile. I get the fact that you won't sell, I feel the same, did a 10,000km run to Greece and Turkey last year and off the Alps, Slovenia and Italy next month. See you guys on the road and enjoy.

    I run a 1998 T4 Multivan 2.5 tdi 102 bhp that I bought 8 years ago as a first 'taster' van for taking the family away camping and mountain biking. I've had a variety of interesting cars over the years but the T4 is just a wonderful thing. Great comfort and visibility, with a superb engine in the 2.5 as it will cruise all day on the motorway while returning reasonable fuel economy.
    I've kept it standard, so just use a portable stove when we're away. If it's just me then I'll use the bed, otherwise take a tent as well. Towbar and rack carries four bikes effortlessly. Also the Multivan makes a great taxi for transporting peeps around to events as it'll carry seven.
    Getting a bit crusty on the front arches and sills which can be a common issue, but they're a pretty solid van. I'll definitely miss it when it comes time to move on.

    i have the opportunity to buy a 1999 T4 1.9TD Diesel at a bargain, however i am concerned about the lack of power on steeper terrain and the lack of aircon... I do plan on taking it to the south parts of France for example

      Gear mods and a retrofit air con unit. Go for it, had mine for a month now and its the best vehicle I've ever owned.

    Isn’t this the basis for the Eurovan campers we see in the States?

      It is indeed! (Mentioned in the video description). Would be good to hear Stateside views on these vans.

    Where all those vans park? One is not allowed to park on a private land. And all lands are private.

  • @rokadaprliinnysystemyaczno4761

    T4 are ok but we'll overrated. They are old so a money out. Today they are dated and noisy and slow
