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.

VW Bus T4&5+

BUSBRIEF • 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!

SLAMMED & SUICIDAL • It’s not unusual for a van to have more than one change of look, but few already cool vans go through quite such a radical change as Robin Holmes’ has!

HAVING A BLAST CAMPER CALLING • Camper Calling is one music festival that just can’t come round fast enough for me.

THE VALETING MAN’S VAN • Boringly basic—that was the purchase made by ‘Big Sam’ Macleod. Very much a daily driver workhorse, yet on duty as a leisure vehicle come dad taxi too, there were plans afoot.

HOW THE OTHER HALF LIVE • Looking for unbridled luxury - you can’t do any better than a 2003 Karmann-Mobil

TO SELL, OR NOT TO SELL • Bought to flip and make some quick cash, this T4 is now too good to sell on.

ACROSS EUROPE FRENCH CONNECTIONS • We woke up in a bit of a daze after our first night on French soil. Were we dreaming, or had we finally managed to start our European adventure?

THE CAMPER BUDDY • If you have a VW camper, then The Camper Buddy could be your friend for life.

READER’S RIDES • Whether it’s a show winner or daily driver, share with us your bus and why you love it.

RINGERS ASSEMBLE • Like the Avengers, this disparate bunch were called and as with the Marvel superheroes, they came together for the greater good, some of them may even have been dressed as Avengers…

VANHALLA! • If paint and graphics are your thing, then here’s a gemstone of a once humble works panel van. Owners Brian Seddon and his wife Helen find they can't stop talking about it!

KELLY BUYS A VAN OR TWO • Where to start? What van did I want? How many miles should it have on the clock? Do I need all mod cons? This is my van journey, from no van to a GMC, then to a T5 and now a T6.

SWAMP ATTACK • No strangers to campervan conversions, Dirty Weekender decided it was about time to create the perfect Swamper and, amongst other things, kit it out with their excellent Egoe system.

HERITAGE BUS THE BAY’S FACELIFT? • All automobile manufacturers do it—revise the look of a product to reflect the latest trends—and in so doing gain extra sales. Did VW join them in the 1970s?

HIKING IN WALES NEVER FAILS • This is the latest VW road trip from our in-house adventurer Jim Hart who headed off to the beautiful Brecon Beacons in search of mountain views, the freshest of air and high-class banter with his brother Nick and Mylo the dog.
