Champagne Edition VWs

[Speedman]

After seeing the funky Camper last weekend, all the non VW RRers couldn't believe that it was a factory paint scheme.



VWoA decided to celebrate the 1,000,000th Rabbit off the production line with a series of models called the Champagne Edition.



A year later they were at it again with Champagne II, which is what the van at The Gathering was.

Excellent find Steve, love old car adverts

Last time I was out in Cali I looked at buying one that had a riviera camping conversion;







He wanted too much for it and those spider webs on the back had scary residents.


Then 2 days later we got to San Francisco and spotted this leaving the carpark at a Macdonalds;

Yes, the guy driving did stare straight at me and looked like a serial killer.

My brother drives this bay (Charlie Brown) all the time because he works for VW kampers, I also have used it personally, Ian the owner lets the staff use it, (generous chap) my brothers mate took it to RR.

The roof they had airbrushed and is not genuine, but the rest of the van is un-restored and a genuine champagne model

Pretty sure that roof is Prosigns work. It complements the stripes really well.

I need stripes like that in my life.
