We’ve got coffee it’s very relaxed inside we’ve got some driving simulators and some really special cars as well there’s a waxed Beetle that we’ve had for many years never taken out as protective wax since it left the factory so it doesn’t look so good there’s a really nice story behind it
I like how everything’s out in decades and I like there’s such a variety of modern and old views it’s nice to have a rod mix of everything that VW does I’ve always been a fan of the Lupo GTI so the track prepared Looper over there is just
Fantastic I can’t wait to have a look around the ID Buzz I’ve always wanted to look around one of them Got people here that own these cars love these cars and there’s lots of stories behind them as well so really it’s a sort of shared experience really of these completely Advocates the cheerleaders for Our Brands and that’s what it’s all about we’ve had all kinds of different cars arriving people

A celebration of the Love Brand, its cars and its heritage. More than 130 people attended our first ever Volkswagen owner’s event, bringing with them more than 50 vehicles ranging from a 1954 Type 214 panel van right up to ultra-modern cars just a few months old.
Guests included Volkswagen Group staff, journalists, photographers, podcasters and online influencers – all of whom own and love their ‘Dubya’ cars. The official Volkswagen UK heritage fleet was also on display, including all eight generations of the Golf GTI, as well as the Hulk Touran.
