Goodbye VW Transporter T6.1...

- เผยแพร่เมื่อ 1 ต.ค. 2024
- With the T6.1 soon to finish production, our shift needs to move to developing for the New VW Transporter T7. My demo van has had everything thrown at it over the years. Its featured in lots of videos, had so many parts developed on it and for it. It really is something pretty special. The trouble is, we can't keep them all. Its sits in the yard and never gets used now so its time someone got to enjoy it as much as I have.
I've owned this van for 2 and a half years now and its only cover 12000 miles. Its the best van I've ever had, but it just sits there, looking incredible, but going to waste :(
Before it goes, it's only right we show you around.. It's been featured a lot on TH-cam, but never in full, so here it is....
Don't worry, we've not given up on the T6.1. In fact we're still developing for the VW T5, T5.1, T6 and T6.1. While we're waiting for the arrival for the new Transporter T7, we want to focus on my dream build T5 pre-face. Those videos will be coming thick and fast soon.
Here is a link to our previous demo van tour. This was the original AT61 LOW.
I hope you've enjoyed this video, if you have please do hit that like button, it means a lot.
Please share this video with anyone that may be interested.
As always, thanks for watching
Lovely van. Shame only 2% of the country can afford one.
Thanks
Try buying any new or new-ish vehicle at the minute, it’s a fortune no matter what you try to buy not just VW modified stuff. The days of picking up a 2003 T4 888 Special kombi for £3995 are but a dream…… You’ll need to get your Delorian out of the barn and get her up to 88 mph to get back to those good old days……..
@@commuterbranchline8132 we're actually working on a flux capacitor at the minute 🤪
@@THQAutomotive GREAT SCOTT!!!!!
@@eliteosbo love it 😝

Nicest looking van I’ve seen for a while 👌
Thank you, means a lot 😊
Lush wheels.
*The side windows*
Exactly what I'm looking for. Please can you tell me what exact name of these windows and who installed them? As I'm anxious about who can fit them correctly. Thanks
They are from our sister company, camperglass.co.uk
Can i ask what power bank is in the back please, that you said trickle charges from engine, as mine is not a camper just my every day van but power would be handy.
Great van by the way Thanks
This is an eco flow. We installed an ignition live in the rear though so its always charging when the ignition is on.
@@THQAutomotive thank you 👍🏻
Lovely van but I cannot ever see or understand the point of something that will take me into the countryside on rough roads & in Scotland gravel tracks. There’s your million pound spoiler gone etc etc. no for me . Standard shocks all day long because I want to take it everywhere.
But this lifts to standard height at the touch of a button. Plus it's waaaaaaaaaaaaaaay more comfortable than standard suspension. Oh and at the touch of a button, I can lower it to get it in lower car parks.
@@THQAutomotive are ok auto lifting is good idea. 👍🏆
Am just trying to sell my one year old touring caravan to get the money to buy a 150bhp high line 🤞🏼
Shame you couldn’t raffle it through Aspire Competitions or something similar, sure it would do well and give a fan a chance to own it 🎉🎉🎉
I've tried reaching out to them before but had no response. I'd happily raffle it though.
They have a lot of T6.1 campers on there but none are as nice as your van
@@rachelhemming7081 we only build special, our vehicles would be ideal for them.
Good idea…..although I probably spent what this van is worth on tickets trying to win one of those campers before I bought my own one!! 😢
Matt Armstrong TH-cam Does his own competitions on a company he set up to support his channel I believe could you team up?? I'd buy a ticket
Who ever wins this then pls appreciate it as its amazing.
Hope I do and enjoy it
Great video.
I’ve just picked up a Caddy as a daily and looking at converting it into a day van, I know you guys are specific to Transporters, would you happen to know anyone who does something similar for the Caddy?
I don't really, sorry
Such an awesome looking van especially the front bumper. Will sell fast.🔥🔥🔥👍🏻
It's sold already. A competition company will be raffling it off.
Very very very interested. Sure it’ll be a auction bun fight £££££💸, but how do I register an interest?
Drop me an email. andy@transporterhq.co.uk
What colour chameleon tint is it please?
Please please please tell me you will produce the side panels for the wingbacks! It's the worst part about having them fitted!
We can 3D print them, they need work though to finish this. Sanding and trimming etc. We just don't have time to finish them to get them to a saleable product really.
Enjoyed the van tour thank you. I think it's well worth doing these tours as it shows off a lot of stuff. From that video I've learned of your floor blank set which I'm about to go and order now, byeee...
Thanks for your comment, glad it helped :)
What is Dynamica. I have painted my A and B pillars, but I like what you have done
It's a premium suede effect product. It's used in premium manufacturers vehicles, Porsche, Ranger Rover, rolls royce seats and headlining etc.
I love them seats. What a beautiful Van. When will we know it’s up for sale only wish I could afford it I have to ask them to up my pension😂😂😂👌👌👌👌👍👍👍👍👍
Haha, it'll be for sale soon.
The final VW transporter before Ford took over production
Correct
I would sell various body parts to buy this, incredible
Haha, I wouldn't recommend that 😁
Beautiful machine…..someone’s gonna have one of the best Transporters in the country there, for sure. 👌
Thank you for saying so :)
Just sooo sweet mate …. Top van . Be great to see it raffled
I'll look into the raffle idea.
@@THQAutomotive I'd buy tickets if you did.
@@TheGrapeEscapeVan I think a lot of people would
Can the chair pods be used with a slide pod kitchen …. Also do you do the chameleon windscreen ..??
I don't think they can no. We don't do window tint sorry.
Did I miss the price? How much is she going for?
It's been sold now to a competition company. We'll let you know where its going when they are ready
What a Van, picked up a T5 6 months ago and slowly modding it lots of good ideas here!
They're the best. Enjoy your journey and build. Glad to be some inspiration.
Could We get a video on the black 4motion please
Yeah for sure. It's nearly finished
Loving the updated rear badge, so much less chrome. Do you know if it will fit the recess of the t5.1 tailgate?
Not sure. The are a mission to fit though. The badge needs re shaping at the back.
@@THQAutomotive looks ace though, worth it
Can you do a short on how to properly remove those seats? 😁 I’ve got rear triple singles and I cannot work out how to remove the middle one now it’s in 🤣 the others are a pig but I can just about manage those! 😅
I'll ask the media team to add this to the list.
@@THQAutomotive Amazing! Thank you 🙌🏻 … as others have said, great job on the van! 😍
Looks like you are a giant, but the t6.1 is so low
I'm 6 foot. (Well 5'11 and three quarters 🤫)
Love it man such a good looking van love the interior 🔥🔥💪
Thank you. It turned out pretty special :)
Where and when are you selling it?
In the next few weeks. I'll post on our social media accounts.
Beautiful van and love the rebrand boys!
Thank you. Story behind the re-branded will come in a video soon 😊
I’ve just brought a new 6.1 4-Mo, it’s a keeper!
So I have 🤫
@@THQAutomotive great taste 😉
@@Transporter2084 we'll feature it soon. I think we'll call it, T6.1 final edition
@@THQAutomotive see if you can beat what I spent on my ‘final edition’, £128k with the vat 😬
@@Transporter2084 Ouch!
Cmonnnnn how much? 👀👀👀
I've not worked it out yet. It depends what wheels it comes with.
What goes in to fitting the rear badge on a t6
It's a mission, I wouldn't bother. You have the shave and shape the back of the badge.
Are the rear lights the smoked red or clear red version?
These are what we call red/clear. They are the most OEM looking which I like.
Perfect, hoped they were! thanks I’ve been waiting to see a set of them on a van for months, order coming your way shortly!!
Great video as always Andy. Love that van ❤
Thanks mate ☺️
When is it going on sale?
Within the next week or so
❤looks great
Thank you, it turned out better than I'd envisaged.
Any chance you could make a comparison between genuine led vs the new THQs ones?
Yes we do at the end of this video th-cam.com/video/15iWGpK56fI/w-d-xo.html
@@THQAutomotive Ah ok 👌I though the comparison was with halogen :D
@@LuigiAntonini No thats against factory LED. They are incredible over factory halogen
@@THQAutomotive Awesome! And dumb question probably, but the LHD version is road legal in Europe right?
@@LuigiAntonini yes
Who done the windscreen
A mobile window tinter in the Netherlands.
A beautiful Frankenstein 👏🏻
Thank you ☺️
Love it but how much ?
I've not worked it out yet. It's a lot of van with very low miles, so won't be cheap. Also depends if it comes with these wheels or cast wheels.
Mega all round. 👌
🙌 thank you
Beautiful van
Thank you, we've loved building it.
What a build!
Very kind of you. You know us, it has to be mega! :)
T7... Wet belt, Noooooo !!
We don't even know it'll have the Ford engine yet.
@@THQAutomotive just saying 😀
@@THQAutomotivethere’s still hope yet then fingers crossed 😊
@@TheGoodalllife It will be the death of the Transporter if they do, I will be buying a new Crafter soon, at least that one has a reprieve.
Is your cameraman having too much sugar! Calm it down! 😂
What do you mean?
@@THQAutomotive the camera movement, random ‘zooming’ in/out.
@@notaclue I'll have a word. Tell him to stay off the Haribo
@@THQAutomotive Clever, you just know now people are going to send you hundreds of bags of Haribo!! :D
@@notaclue haha, I hope so 👀
Over priced and over rated! I live in the SW of England and these things are everywhere. Sheep buy them and sheep follow sheep! A decent Transit custom is so much better, much more affordable and I think they look better. VW just silly silly overpriced.
Ok
I leased a Transit Custom for 3 years. Terrible uncomfortable van. Lots of things went wrong. Glad when it went back. Now own a T6.1 LWB Sportline in Pure Grey. Fantastic van and great to drive. I’m a mod on the T5 & T6 forum so maybe biased 😂
@@Vwfan greedy, they are great vans. We have a 204dsg 4motion we've Caravelled. We'll always keep hold of that. I have to say, I am impressed with the new Transit though. I'd never driven the old one.
@@THQAutomotive love the look of the new Custom. When my Van is 3 years old I’ll retire it and lease either the new VW or Custom as being a builder I wouldn’t want to ruin the VW. Two years old and 7500miles on it!
Transporters have the reputation and following for a reason. Best looking vans ever made
Stunning van! You’ve put some serious work into this mate! 👌🏽
Thanks mate 🙏
