- What an incredible day! So many stunning early Transporters, so many awesome people and all to support a great charity www.cruse.org.uk
Thank you to all that came, I know some traveled from the other side of the country and even some from The Netherlands and Belgium. You guys are the ones that made this such a special event.
Thank you to all the team at Transporter HQ for working so hard behind the scenes and in the lead up to the BBQ.
Finally thank you to the admin team at Resist the Lift for approaching me about putting on this event. Same again next year?
I hope you enjoy the video and these guys show you how special a pre-facelift Transporter can look.
Please to hit that like button, it means a lot.
As always, thanks for watching.
I spent sooooo many years in the beetle scene trying to make them look older.
I have just bought my first T5 and it baffles me how many are face lifted! The OG front is by far the best looking and, in my opinion, was the golden era for modern VW's.
Mk4/T5/B5/6X/6N. The build quality compared to what all the other gen pop manufacturers were making was amazing! And what they did for the Turbo diesel movement!! Crazy!
The only one of those I haven't owned is the Lupo... My T5 is a Caravelle SE, but my heart lies with the commercial front. Love a black bumper and orange indicators! 😂
My old T5 caravelle bus is a car that I fell in love with and still drive, R21 low springs😎🤘💪
Riiight that’s my mind made up. I’m going back pre 😂
Do it 👊😜
I agree buddy owned my prefacelift for 15 years gutted I sold it.Good old ulez a I am on the t6 journey.
Damn ULEZ 😩
So glad u think its a future classic.. im a keepin mine as is then
💯 They're already getting hard to find at sensible money where as the facelifted and later models are coming down in value.
I’m keeping my van pre facelift, I agree with you it looks good and it’s someday going to be a classic👍
Truth 💪🙌❤️
Stunning selection of buses - I think my T6 is the sweet spot in the transporter history but love these just the same. Great to see so many fellow enthusiasts - love the transporter scene ❤
I love the T6 too. I really love my T6.1. I just like to see them stay the face the came with.
@@THQAutomotive perhaps you need to develop a T6 > Prefacelift front end kit - then I can have the best looks of the original front with all the more modern Highline cabin, tech, engine, DSG box etc
@@iam_anderdingus haha, great idea but I just think they should all stay as each version was designed
Was a fantastic event guys, well done to everyone involved 🤙🏻
Thank you 😊
My first time to one of these events, didn't really know many people face to face, but what an incredible atmosphere,chilled vibes and some awesome vans,thanks for putting on an awesome event.
Our pleasure. We love doing them and getting to meet so many like minded people.
I love my T5 it's the OG!!❤❤
100% 🙌💪
Them wheels look sick that's it I was about to change my front not now.
So pleased to hear that 😊 yeah I'm a big fan of the Navis Chopper wheel
Awesome, to see so many pre faces , when i bought my van i wanted to do , but after a respray i liked the preface more and didn't want to look like everyone else's van out there happy i kept it now Just need some new boots now
That's great to hear 🙌
Great video! Can see and hear the passion for the pre-facelift! It was an awesome day - so many epic vans. 🤙💯
Thank you for coming 😊
I completely agree that the pre face lift T5 is the best looking T5.
I actually really like them all, I just love that the pre-face is the original.
@@THQAutomotive I agree why change the front end of a T5 Nice that people are putting them back to pre face lift and yes all the transports look awesome.I fell in love with transports 33 years ago when I was on my honeymoon in Newquay when we bumped into run to sun it's only just now I can offord one to convert probably a T6 and expect you will emptied my bank account by year end 🙂
@@TheMase60 haha. Good luck with your build 😊
I agree with you totally. If u want a 5.1 then buy a 5.1. please leave T5s as they come so we all can enjoy em.
Truth 🙌👊
Thanks for great day, even saw my van on your vid 🤙🤙🤙🤙
Thanks for coming and thanks for watching 😊
Definitely the best t5's for sure! Great little edit too 🤙
Thank you, glad you enjoyed it 😊
Its wunderfull bbq bus Meeting hq transporter 💯👌😊🚚🚚🚚🚚💨
It was so much fun with some stunning T5's on show.
Your T6 looks awesome with the bronze wheels 👌
T6.1 😉 but thank you. They're my favourite wheels to date
I face lifted mine I love the look of it but now when you see them all together think I mite have made a mistake I can’t tell the wife she will go mad 😂
Look forward to you next vid what ever it is 👍
Haha, just roll with it. I'm sure yours looks great as a facelift. We just need to stop more doing it and them all disappearing 😢
Defo a space in my heart for the pre face lift 👊😎
As do I. I think when i sell my T6.1, I'm going to hunt down and build the ultimate pre-facelift.
@@THQAutomotive I’m sure it will look awesome dude if you build it 💥they certainly have the cool factor 😎👊
@@julianhammond3070 Watch this space ;)
@@THQAutomotive 😉👍
Elliot mews preface lift is the one at the minute 🔥🔥
Can you do a Black T5.1 BBQ please 😂
Great to see so many prefaces, they sure look cool 😎
(Mines a factory 5.1 btw)
I'd be keen for a T5.1 bbq too
Definitely the best look. Gutted I got rear ended and mine was written off
Oh no 😢
good show of the best van’s just wish i still had mine DAM THE ULEZ T5 and my Caddy had to go now I am a old man with a car ! 😪😪😪 👍👍👍👍👌👌👌👌
Nooooooo! 😢
Real Nice vans! 👍
Some really stunners for sure
Gutted I couldn’t get there in the end with my preface, I’d bought a ticket and everything I’m happy the money went to charity just gutted I missed all the other preface vans
Sorry you couldn't make it. Hopefully see you next year.
You can count on it
At first I thought this was a bbq against lifted "swamper" vans 😅
I'd love to do a Lift BBQ here just for swampers 🤔
did u ever tried bmw styling 297 on a t5 ?
I haven't personally but I've known others that have. Lovely looking wheel
What year are the pre face lift t5 ?
2004 to 2009
Hi are you doing another bbq event
@@Georgegallowa7 we do various ones throughout the year.
Great idea love to come to next one as I’m new to T5 , iv got a T5 high top camper I’m getting it ready for outing’s.
Think the dirty diesel engines will cause problems for these vehicles & why I sold mine 😢
Nooooooo 😩
Methinks you’ve made quite a small fortune selling headlights to people who’ve put a 5.1 front end on eh? 😉
You're probably right, although we've never sold facelift kits or the headlight looms. It's just my opinion and I'd just like to see the original look stick around for longer,
There’s space for all styles in the vw scene. 🤙🏽
@@stevebennett6727 100%. It's very tongue on cheek what I say about facelifts. I totally understand why people want to do it. I just hope some can resist so the original look is still around for when they're the next classic. Pre-facelift are currently increasing on value, while the later models are going down in value. I know it's not all about money though. We own these things for the lifestyle and we all get to make them individual on our own ways.
Agreed. Mine T5 is an 06 2.5 174 and it looked boring so face lifted it, lowered it and have spent a fortune on it but we love the look and the way it drives. Some mates would only ever have a T4 but they ain’t for me either 😂😂
