its really cool!! but paint/warp it in your logo.. I know there company did Amazing on it but they don't need the whole van to advertise. It needs to be CARWOW!!
Back some years ago i went in Austria at Worthesse show and there i saw a really cool customized van.. idea was of 2 nut-heads that got a VR6 motor in a Caravelle / Multivan and inside fully custom with only 6 comfortable seats, behind driver a 32 inch plasma tv/ satnav it was phenomenal but was mostly for autobahn & high ways not for off-road ..
Perfect analogy, they have no shame what so ever in the van being completely paid for by sponsorship, I don't think I have ever seen such a blatent pay off, they know it's gonna be seen in all the carwow stuff
Thats probably why it was only 110k. But in all honesty: what you want to do is buy a regular VW van, customize all the practical bits and bobs like beds, tables and drawers (so easy to diy) and then let a shop upgrade the upholstery (if you need that). The airride definitely is a huge show and nothing else but most probably the most expensive kit here.
I dont like the livery as well but as Mat said (he even corrected his wording as he did at 19:48), its provided by VH so its only logical, that they get something back for doing so.
Just like Autoalex is doing just now. They need to hide the BMW shill money somehow so they do it with VAG company on Tax relief. MCN and several bike magazines from the past got caught doing this same thing in 2010ish with the launch of s1000rr. They got freedom of information acted by magazine buyers and got found out for hiding BMW shill money😂 Utterly ridiculous they must be on a 3yr and close the LTD company tactics. Likely the owners taking all the money out the channel on Dividends and will sink the entire ship once HMRC start looking into UK youtubers. Autoalex doing a good job of speeding that process up with their highly suspicious shill activity right now.
I mean personally I don't mind it, this is a pretty cool van. I wouldn't mind if they showed more custom stuff like this, not just the stock manufacturer cars
Remember that is a vag, so any challenge it enters it will win on car wow, really want to see this on a drag race against the M5 and or a Jesko and still win.
Don't get me wrong, it's a great van, but for the price I expected it wouldn't be necessary to assemble the tables and the cover with so many separate parts, the bed is also simply a disgrace. For the price there should also be customization of the engine giving more power and perhaps an additional fuel tank for more autonomy.
@@jamesfynnhere6983 And a tdi at that with 150hp, they didn’t even bother to remap it which is crazy. It being carwow it should’ve gotten the 2.0tsi with 200hp (with a remap it’s 300hp).
Wrong base vehicle! Should start with a caravelle 204hp, 4 wheel drive LWB. Rear seats would then be on sliding rails. LED headlights a must. Tow hitch a must. Then customise from there.
The A Team - ref - I love it when a plan comes together. Good Business concept by Van Haven. Matt Watson job well done 💯✅. Overall Score 95/100 for this VW Transporter conversion.
7:12 Is there already damage on the armrest of the passenger side ? If you look closely it looks like a tear in the tan leather of the armrest , where the armrest meets the seat bolstering ... I hope i'm wrong & it's just a smudge or so ! Love them bronze wheels w/ the beefy tyres .
Vanhaven rocks! I own a sublime Vanhaven 2023 LWB Kombi Sleeper - these are bespoke vehicles and you enjoy one on one consultancy support throughout your build (thank you Tom) and beyond. The attention to detail, passion and knowledge is infectious. The vehicle you end up owning is VW Transporter in name, but with Vanhaven loveliness added! Once you’ve experienced it, their’s nothing else quite like it!
It's nice to look after the staff who have been with you from the start when it was grim so well done Matt you get more out of people the more you put in ,pity that seems to have been forgotten by most employers these days 😊
One of the best pimp my rides ever... Jokes aside, this is soooo sick and now I want one, shame it's costs an arm and leg though 😭 Would love to see more of these
I own a van haven built TTX SWAMPER lwb highline kombi camper t32 204 dsg ,and it's by far the best vehicle i have ever owned. Being able to order a brand new transporter and being in a position to have a vehicle built to my very specific needs was fantastic. The Team at Van Haven build the best vans imaginable.
At first, it was you no-bollocks attitude that hooked me . THIS is unprecedented ( undented ....) Please never change . You turn the shite into clear skies ! A treat indeed .
@@xrismanessa3993 He is modifying the company's cars, at which the company spent millions and skilled engineers to make them quiet, comfortable, and weighing more than 3 tons. He transforms them into a sports car that produces a loud noise 🤡
7:30 Why have manual doors? You can open it with the press of a button on the keys, or just use the handles correctly. Plus, if you really want to have them manual, just press the shaped plastic buttons down on the doors and it converts them to manual. Electric opening doors are awesome, so I can’t disagree with their statement enough. Nice van though, especially with the air suspension, as they are quite rigid to drive.
Although I must admit.. £110k and not even an upgrade on the engine is quite diabolical 🤣 not a great advert for the van company lol! Tad overpriced imo. If it was £70k - £80k without an engine upgrade i would think that's fairer
My favourite part of this entire van is the hot drinks section. How was the coffee machines and kettle fit in there so well with the cups and cutlery. Do Van Heaven do all that??
Change your car with Carwow: bit.ly/-Change-Your-Car-2609

When you are an introvert and an extrovert throws you a surprise gift and you try so hard to act the most excited and surprised you can 😅😅😅
Especially when he was filming the spec of said vehicle
@@RebelsInc969the VanHaven has quite a lot of horsepower...
😂😂😂
It's not his lol. It's just carwow cutting down on all of them claiming fuel 🤣
In the scheme of things I think he’s just trying to not look like a nobhed 🤷
You know the business is paying off when your cameraman has a 110k VAN
business so good, the guy turned into a camera. btw you're = you are
@@l5vdi it's clearly a typo *
can't be or he would have a Lexus LM
Almost 10m subs
Probably didnt pay full price or got it for free from vanhaven
Plot twist: Louis was recording mat in the design part
😂😂
Nope!
I thought Louis also recording Matt on the interior as well.
😂😂😂
That would be hilariously cruel 😂
Gotta act excited for the new company car ...cause even though its already sponsored/paid, they are also selling your reaction to it.
& he was filming the spec

A giant Vanhaven advertising billboard on wheels 🫤
Inside too
It would've been part of the deal, there's no way they paid £110k. They did a similar thing for Matt Jones Red Bull MTB rider.
Thats probably why it was only 110k. But in all honesty: what you want to do is buy a regular VW van, customize all the practical bits and bobs like beds, tables and drawers (so easy to diy) and then let a shop upgrade the upholstery (if you need that).

His reaction was if you gave him a toy Pagani saying it was a real Pagani
Lmao😂😂
1:34 Bro came with a rolls Royce spectre
Everyone knows he would rather pocket the cash and stick with the old van. 😂
The old van should've had engine upgrades inside of the engine.
not how it works from a business perspective, especially in the UK
it looks like shit.
Clearly a free Van sponsored by Van Haven for marketing purposes.
Exactly
Whether it's a free van or not, they clearly meant that the van is valued at £110k...
I mean 🎉
Fr
He said it’s a long term loan at the start of the video so yes it is really clear it’s free
All those years of being locked in boots and squeezed in seats by Mat has paid off 😅
20 minute ad
Isn’t that the point of the channel?

It needed to be a lot longer than that to convince me to drop 110k on a van
For an ad I quite enjoyed that! The build process was interesting and the camera man was a laugh :)
07:11 nice nick in the arm rest already 💀😂
Just seen it lol
Bit of a shame for that money.
The camera man response in the first van😂
😂😂😂He couldn't hide the disappointment
@@ziphobruce33 Kinda like when your friend tries to convince you that the new couch potato fitness trainer is super skilled😂😂😂
is something all right
plywood storage bins for 110k?
They get wet and theyre fkd 😂
Remember that is a vag, so any challenge it enters it will win on car wow, really want to see this on a drag race against the M5 and or a Jesko and still win.
Leather damage on the armrest 7:11
That was from us replacing the previous leather with the new one. Not damaged per say.
i saw it too lol

£110k... For a van. 😂😂😂
That's free ( Marketing the brand ) he ain't paying that much for a upgrade let's be honest
And a 2L at that, thing should have a 911 motor in the back for that money.
I wouldn’t accept 110k to drive around in that advertisement on wheels
@@Gaminghunter2000110k alone is only well worth it for driving for 1980s Rally Car like RS200 WRC.

Damn, a VIP Version of the Toyota hiace or Vellfire would have looked better and cheaper
He clearly has a co-promo deal going on.
Yes he's promoting the van haven pple
They don't sell them shitty VWs 😅
Honestly, you need to do a used car comparison between various camper vehicles, vw transporter, nissan elgrand, Toyota vellfire, ford transit etc etc
@@Sprks-fh1nsNissan Elgrand still has better reliability than Vellfire.
6:15 a nice touch there including some appalling camera work to big up the man who normally does it.
Wrong base vehicle! Should start with a caravelle 204hp, 4 wheel drive LWB. Rear seats would then be on sliding rails. LED headlights a must. Tow hitch a must. Then customise from there.
Absolutely, the 204hp twin turbo is rather rapid for a van. I'm so glad I went for it. And the LED lights are fantastic.
The 2.0tdi can be tuned to 200hp if necessary 😶
So well deserved. This guy surely is among the reasons why carwow reached this level. So well deserved.
First van was sweet id have been really happy with that
For “all the hardwork he does” good statement from employer
It’s an understatement
Dashboard is very “110k” Good job VW and VanHaven… 😂
Not even a digital drivers display, for £110k... 😂😂
Hard work pays off. Great to support those around you Mat. Incredible
I think it is more of a company vehicle than his to actually own really. As covered in logos.
He said it’s a long term loan right at the start

I'm absolutely loving my VW California. Just love finishing early on a Friday then setting off for a weekend away. fantastic van.
Nice tax write off that.
It’s a long term loan so not it’s not a tax write off
Very Nice! I’d have wanted the LWB myself, 14”
Longer but loads more room!
🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣🤣jokers. I was born in a VW Microbus 66 years ago in a hospital car park. No way £100,00, Scooby Dooby Doo, where are you?

Saw the van in the last video and was so confused when I saw the Carwow logo in the interior.
That was really nice of you Matt to get Lewis a daily driver van.
I LOVE YOU MATT

I love this behind the scene video, Matt takes care of his crew! kUdos!
The cameraman's reacton at the beginning was indeed polite distressing.
No lie this is the best review video you’ve done in a while😍😍😍

Better surprise us by posting videos everyday like you did before...

110k and your advertising their name all over the van😂 shouldn't they be paying you for advertising their name on the van 😂

How about bigger salaryy, I'm sure his underpaid 😂 but they got a sponsored van so let's make it a "gift" to their employes
They got sponsored so i’m sure they don’t pay a full 110k for it, or even anything tbh
I think we saw the van in an actual episode before. The Honda Ioniq N track video. Am writing this before actually seeing the van in this video
😅
LOL...............he gets a billboard Van
That "van" is hecking sick! Holy frick! Amazing.
I actually thought the first van was fr
when he asked lewis to be him @14:47 i was hoping lewis just start going 'yam yam yam' in a brummie accent🤣
If you need for any reason any more convincing that car prizes are out of fucking controll.
And VW is wondering why they csnt sell shit anymore.
a cool gift for a cool guy,the camera man has such a great vibe
7:10, leather already fucked up...
18:44 Most importantly, CarWow drinks Yorkshire Tea. Tea done proper.
Imagine paying 110k just to be a rolling billboard for van haven
You think they paid anywhere near £110k? I'd take a good guess it was a free van for 2 or 3 years, then handed back.
They didn’t pay anything he said right at the start it’s a long term loan
I think the van is really cool and practical plus being comfortable to drive and live with
SKIBBIDI SIGMA RIZZ GUYS IF YOU LIKE I WILL SKIBBID YOUR RIZZ UP.
Love it...bit pricey so if your good with the old tools probably make it cheaper but absolutely loved this!
ITS A LOAN, STOP PRETENDING YOU OWN THESE CARS. SAME GOES FOR THE AUDIS
The air suspension is probably good for the gear that's in the back too. ❤ Nice van ❤
not worth it
Well deserved and well done treating the camera man👍🏻👌
Wonder how much they actually paid for it after this 20 min van haven advert slot
Mat that's how you should treat your employees ❤❤❤❤.
What an awesome build love the rugged look 😊.
Luxury VW transporters? I guess your business is as good as dead, guys.
VW is going nowhere with their overpriced shitboxes.
That's why they've sold out to Ford for the next gen.
