VW Bus T4&5+

This is the only magazine dedicated to the late model VW buses from the T4 and T5 on. The magazine acknowledges the evolution of the VW bus and spotlights where this symbol of freedom and adventure has now arrived: the T4 and T5 - taking their rightful place in the family of VW models and carrying on the tradition of quality and innovation that is the ever iconic VW Bus.

BUS BRIEF • The latest news and products from around the world

SHOW CALENDAR • We go to print long before the magazine hits the shelves, so please check carefully on any events you might want to attend; tickets are in great demand at present and some events sell out. So, our advice is to purchase tickets in advance and to doublecheck on the organiser’s website and on social media in the run up to the event. Stay safe and we’ll see you out there!
