I agree Mate. Caravelle looks better on the outside for me, but I guess the Multivan is more modern inside and more toys. Prefer Caravelle colour as well.
Definitely one of my favourite channels. You just come across as such a genuinely nice guy. Your presentation and cinematography has improved so much since your earlier videos. The dealership bit was great. Caravelle looks much nicer but that's not uncommon with older and new cars (Golf mk8, every new BMW etc, Leon)
Ah your wife is awesome! "Don't film me crying, I'm an ugly crier" "don't film me, I feel like I'm cheating on her", epic lol. Personally I thought the older one looked better but shhh!
Cracking family life you have there Dean! Cherish it mate as the little fella will be bigger than you soon! Happy birthday to the missus. She loved the new van. 😊👍
We've still got our old 2005 T5 shuttle, we bought it new from a salvage yard. Best family vehicle ever and it still has the damaged. She still has the damage as we never could afford the repairs.
I love the old one, the new one is lovely, the seats will take some getting used too.. the reason you’re not sure which you prefer is because of the lower front bumper.. that parts hideous but the rest is lovely!
Think i prefer the old one. New one reminds me of a toyota previa with thise narrow head and tail lights. Still a nice car, and well deserved for your lovely wifey
love the realness and getting the family included, colour actually looks well against the white as well. nice family wagon! great video, nice to see the other side of your life as well 😄
The new one will be a better car long term and should drive far better. I’m surprised you hated the red/ black option as that is an iconic VW microbus colour from 1958…very sought after! Yes wrapping a car is not as easy as it looks…I did some windows a few years ago and it was hard work to get it to fit without bubbles! So… Happy Birthday and lots of smiles!!😀😀😀😀
The Caravelle just looks solid and well proportioned. The new one could be a Toyota Elgrand and is a bit squinty like the VW ID3 at the front. I’m sure it’s a decent machine.
Caravelle all day long for me Dean. Great gesture and it shows the respect that you have for your good lady. I'll be hopping over to competeforcars after the video finishes.
Definitely the caravelle for me been looking for a long time now have entered the raffle fingers crossed. Keep the videos coming your doing a sterling job, have watched every one 👍👍👍
Regarding appearance, I do prefer the shape of the older model, but the new one has an amazing array of tech. I like the virtual cockpit and the dashboard mounted gear selector toggle switch, also the interchangeable front and rear tray table is a very clever feature❤.
Hi Dean love the new colour on the Multivan, having a high top converted later this year and looking for a stunning wrap colour. Do you have more details on the colour you used so we could match it please?
Caravelle better looking externally, not liking front end on multi van. Looking nice inside and great to see your wife's reaction.... bonus points for u 😀
Brilliant, dean look at the colour!!! ha ha,and can tell your Mrs really appreciated that ,you deserve all your success great content as usual ,oh happy birthday 👍👍
I like the the original van,looks nicer and has the right options considering newer one just looks cheap.my opinion.your money,your wife,your life at home,after she sees it.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Loving the reaction! Class 👌👌 also I’m undecided on whether I prefer the new or old. Initially I was all for the older, but the more I was watching the more I liked the newer one
Hi Dean. The older one looks better in two-tone. But the new one looks brilliant 👏. She will be so happy to get a brand new wagon, and it's well deserved. Nice job in doing this for her. You will need seat covers for it. This looks so cool with the wrap done, Dean. Wow, that was so lovely, Dean, your Wife seems to love her new Whip, lol. I'm over the moon to see her so happy. It's so good of you to do this for her. Ticket time again. Great video again, Dean. Keep it up, Mate. 👏👏👌🇮🇪
Great video, I’m glad you’re opting for baby blue wrap, that would look awesome and the best wishes to your wife on her birthday, she shares her birthday date with my sister who has her birthday today as well.
love the look of your caravelle the two tone makes it seem classy, the multivan might look better with a similar colour, still a great bus which i'm sure your wife & family will enjoy.
Just looked up what these things cost new. They're certainly not cheap. Bought a 7m motor home last year for what they cost. But the spec is very nice and they're really smart looking!
I've had the 6.1 California Ocean for brand new since Feb 2023, I love the heck out of it. The new multivan looks kind of generic Japanese/Korean vehicle. Congrats regardless!
I started watching before you got your dream the Barn Find TVR Cerbera I think the first was a torched stolen car, I am amazed it's a year since you were winding yourself up trying to get the VW done to go away in. I will say my dad had the same VW vans for 10 years and loved them and my neighbour has 2 now and they don't miss a beat
Respect mate. Well done. Happy travels to you both

I still prefer the T6 version. Bigger, taller, wider… the bench becomes a bed. Only thing that I honestly like on the new one is the new tracks on the floor that allows the table to be the center console as well. That should have been like this since the T5. Just makes sense.
I love the new Multivan look, they're finally taking some steps away from the van model every brand has been using for the past 10 years. The new one has some character!
As a T5.1 fangirl I’ll always feel the T5/6 look is best - I guess T3/Vanagon die hards had a hard time moving to the new shape when the T4 came along so this is probably no different, but the Multivan/T7 just doesn’t do it for me, so my 2011 Caravelle Exec will be staying put, couple times round the clock still to go!
You're very generous to your wife. I'm sure she's worth it though! Hope you have loads of good times in it with your family. Kid's don't stay young for long ;)
Older one looks better but the new one certainly isn't a minger, it'll grow on you. I absolutely love these, I would love one too, both very lucky. I love the idea of having one of these, down to the coast... amazing.
Nice Two-Tone :) VW should have just called it the Sharan replacement which this MQB based bus actually is. Now VW offers a " Multivan" for light duty puposes but you can still order the Transporter 6.1 for heavier needs thats doesnt have the aweful new VW UX and general cheapness...
Hey Dean, in one of your older videos you changed a turbo core, and rebuild the turbo, on an Audi a3. Where can you recommend getting a core from? Because I don't want to buy a poor Ebay quality one.
I think I like the practicality of the new van with the features - not so keen on the colour of the wrap…. I love the colours of the older model, I’ve bought my tickets👍
I Love The Older Caravelle I see it being Repaired Then you Scratched it With the Battery Charger Before You started the Restoration . love the 2 tone . New 1 caravelle likes the colour I think i would have problems @ the Front as Well How about Baby Blue For the New Volksy ?
I’m old & like the old front grill 😂 I know when I see one coming towards me & it’s in that beautiful Sepang Pearlescent blue for me it’s the dogs bollocks 💙 IMO the old shape & front is spot on.. but then I haven’t seen the new one as yet maybe grow on me… I had a go at Wrapping on a toolbox for my old Lambretta.. got through 3 sheets before I gave up lol
Jeez its been a year. Been watching your videos for about a year then.Since the caravelle build. Haven't been disappointed since.
Thank you 😊
I had the same thought. Time flies!
Me too,happy birthday to your wife Dean!
Older one looks way better.
😬
It hasn't missed a beat.... so still buying a really expensive new one 😂
More then likely last longer aswell tbf
I prefer his Mrs to his mum in law..
True 😳
Carvelle gets my vote...the multivan look a bit Japanese styling, on the outside, if you get what I mean 🤷♂️
Wanted to say the same thing😂. I like the caravelle more.
You're totally right. Looks like something from Toyota or Nissan.
I agree Mate. Caravelle looks better on the outside for me, but I guess the Multivan is more modern inside and more toys. Prefer Caravelle colour as well.
lol!!! it was designed based on the caddy and golf for moer aerodynamics and efficiency.
@@120Livi except it doesnt look even remotely close to what toyota or nissan have! go look at the latest toyota hiace its totally different.
Happy wife, happy life, good job Dean and happy birthday Alysha🎂
Definitely one of my favourite channels. You just come across as such a genuinely nice guy. Your presentation and cinematography has improved so much since your earlier videos. The dealership bit was great.

Loved it. Also loved that your wife had been literally scoping one out herself and knew all little details. Ace
Cracking family life you have there Dean! Cherish it mate as the little fella will be bigger than you soon! Happy birthday to the missus. She loved the new van. 😊👍
Thanks
Great thing to see Dean, family first. Very admirable mate.
Such a lovely happy and grateful wife
There was me thinking Dean was giving a present he secretly wanted for himself…….. then she really actually loved it!
Hard work pays off. Well done to your wife and huge respect to you👍
What a sweet lad you are. She's obviously over the moon! Happy days
Because she's worth it 👍
We've still got our old 2005 T5 shuttle, we bought it new from a salvage yard. Best family vehicle ever and it still has the damaged. She still has the damage as we never could afford the repairs.
I like the new one styling over the old one, i also liked the baby food colour wrap to (you did a great job on the wrap too). Keep them coming.
But... "what about the colour"
😂😂 😂
WHAT ABOUT THE COLOUR
Well done Dean lots of brownie points for that. But I've never seen a woman so excited about a fold down table
Caravelle looks much better, lines are great and the front side looks very nice!
I love the old one, the new one is lovely, the seats will take some getting used too.. the reason you’re not sure which you prefer is because of the lower front bumper.. that parts hideous but the rest is lovely!
Think i prefer the old one. New one reminds me of a toyota previa with thise narrow head and tail lights.
Still a nice car, and well deserved for your lovely wifey
Bless her honestly bro even tho you were a bit unsure of the colour the look on her face and reaction said it all bless you and your family ❤🎉
Driven both. Multi van all day long
Yup, way better to drive and live with. Makes the caravelle feel even more like a van with seats, which it is.
@@LCOF 👆 this 😁
love the realness and getting the family included, colour actually looks well against the white as well. nice family wagon! great video, nice to see the other side of your life as well 😄
Thanks so much!

Love the old car loved watching that video when you fixed it Keep up the good work. (happy wife happy life)
Dean nice thing to do for her. Also loved how your boy hates the camera. He likes his privacy. Keep up the great stuff and glad your doing well
17:27 "MUUUM!!!" HAHA LOL that scared the shit out of me 😂.
😂😂
Caravelle all day long for me Dean. Great gesture and it shows the respect that you have for your good lady. I'll be hopping over to competeforcars after the video finishes.
I said, Carvel looks better. That’s quite nice changes on the bottom rebuild one looks better category
Definitely the caravelle for me been looking for a long time now have entered the raffle fingers crossed. Keep the videos coming your doing a sterling job, have watched every one 👍👍👍
Well done dean, what a lovely birthday gift!
Regarding appearance, I do prefer the shape of the older model, but the new one has an amazing array of tech.

Give Dean a couple more years, and he will need to buy a bus for his wife :))
In a couple of years time, Dean might finish the man car (Cerbera) for himself. Lord knows he deserves it. 😂
I really do like the Two Tone of the new van. Makes a huge difference!
Hi Dean love the new colour on the Multivan, having a high top converted later this year and looking for a stunning wrap colour. Do you have more details on the colour you used so we could match it please?
Best Surprise ever !Love the color but sad to say i do love the Caravelle so much more than the Multivan.......nice video !!
The front of the old van looks nicer, but the back of the new van is nicer. The colour😮. Can't wait to see the new wrap.
K the caravelle has a better lookinv front end but damn that multi van looks good from the rear 😅😂👍
Dean what a lovely gesture for your wife 👏 she's well please 🙏
Caravelle better looking externally, not liking front end on multi van.
Looking nice inside and great to see your wife's reaction.... bonus points for u 😀
Hi. Nice van not very in the 2 colors but i like. The VW ID Buzz is the van i like just miss a option TDI and is the perfect one. My opinion.
Happy wife, happy life ❤ love the new motor
Health to enjoy! Enjoy the new whip and hope its as hassle free as the old!
Well done for trying with the wrap. I like the new one, and the reviews are great. I bought some tickets for the old one! Fingers crossed!
I like the looks of both vans, but I would have it in a dark green colour. Great video as always. The bronze colour does look great.
The older caravelle looks a hell of a lot better because of the shape and lines regardless of colour
Brilliant, dean look at the colour!!! ha ha,and can tell your Mrs really appreciated that ,you deserve all your success great content as usual ,oh happy birthday 👍👍
I saw one of these today, exactly the same colour scheme. Near Portsmouth, surprisingly it wasn’t on fire.
Didn't think i was gonna like the colour when u showed it on the roll but seeing it on the van I changed my mind that looks well smart
I like the the original van,looks nicer and has the right options considering newer one just looks cheap.my opinion.your money,your wife,your life at home,after she sees it.😎😎😎👍👍👍
Yes !! Absolutely love the Caravelle .. max tickets will be bought .. and prayers will be said 🙏
Loving the reaction! Class 👌👌 also I’m undecided on whether I prefer the new or old. Initially I was all for the older, but the more I was watching the more I liked the newer one

Yes Dean, no more wrapping lol, and baby blue will look amazing when its re done! Spot on birthday 🎉 present though!
I've had the 6.1 California Ocean for brand new since Feb 2023, I love the heck out of it. The new multivan looks kind of generic Japanese/Korean vehicle. Congrats regardless!
Awesome surprise! Well done Dean!
The persistants on "what do you thing of the colour?" 😂😂😂
The caravelles front end makes it look sharper.
Another great video Dean. You have one of the best car RUclips channels. Looking forward to the next one.
My lil lad who’s 2 soon called Archie, we love watching your vids, followed you for years 👌🏻
What a lovely reaction, enjoy!! 😁
I started watching before you got your dream the Barn Find TVR Cerbera I think the first was a torched stolen car, I am amazed it's a year since you were winding yourself up trying to get the VW done to go away in. I will say my dad had the same VW vans for 10 years and loved them and my neighbour has 2 now and they don't miss a beat
So its been a year since I've started watching your videos. Keep up the great work, all the way from Lesotho 🇱🇸
Respect mate. Well done. Happy travels to you both
I still prefer the T6 version. Bigger, taller, wider… the bench becomes a bed.
Only thing that I honestly like on the new one is the new tracks on the floor that allows the table to be the center console as well. That should have been like this since the T5. Just makes sense.
Older Caravelle looks better than the new Multivan
After mk7 golf it's true, cheaper clunk on doors etc, the older van looks way better aswell!
I Love The older one!❤😊
new one looks more car so that 1 with some lowering springs n new alloys ,two tone white/black/blueCongrats , Hats of to you mate ❤
I love the new Multivan look, they're finally taking some steps away from the van model every brand has been using for the past 10 years. The new one has some character!
Was surprised you attempted a wrap after saying you never wanted to do it again last time!
What a birthday present though! 😎
Nice to see a bloke look after his woman the way he should. Good on ya.
Reminds me of the 2 tone ID Buzz. Nice colour.
Veronica is beautiful.... the new one, not so much.... but a fabulous birthday present m8❤ I think the pale blue will be a good choice.
What a lovely present and she clearly was made up with it. Keep up the great content well done 🎉
I really enjoyed this video! Your wife was clearly buzzing about the new car too! You should be in good books for a while now.
As a T5.1 fangirl I’ll always feel the T5/6 look is best - I guess T3/Vanagon die hards had a hard time moving to the new shape when the T4 came along so this is probably no different, but the Multivan/T7 just doesn’t do it for me, so my 2011 Caravelle Exec will be staying put, couple times round the clock still to go!
You're very generous to your wife. I'm sure she's worth it though! Hope you have loads of good times in it with your family. Kid's don't stay young for long ;)
I think could love the carvelle as much as your wife does. The mutivan definitely look better with the wrap.
Caravelle looks epic, what a beauty ! The blue and white looks great 👍🏽
Edit
Wow the new one looks awesome !!
Older one looks better but the new one certainly isn't a minger, it'll grow on you. I absolutely love these, I would love one too, both very lucky. I love the idea of having one of these, down to the coast... amazing.
Well done to you my friend. Wonderful family you have. ❤️ well deserved gift 🎁 happy birthday. Look forward to nexted update already
Nice one Dean, not going to show my wife the video as she may get ideas. Happy birthday to your wife. Cheers
Nice Two-Tone :) VW should have just called it the Sharan replacement which this MQB based bus actually is. Now VW offers a " Multivan" for light duty puposes but you can still order the Transporter 6.1 for heavier needs thats doesnt have the aweful new VW UX and general cheapness...

Ignore the negative comments, your mrs approves and she’s happy that’s the main thing for you
Old one definitely looks better for sure new ones look electric lol 😂
Mission achieved - Happy wife :-) !!
Love it and the colour is a throw back to the original Kombi….
I surprised my wife with a new mistress.
Your Mrs seems proper sound and not entitled at all. Keeper
I’m old & like the old front grill 😂
I know when I see one coming towards me & it’s in that beautiful Sepang Pearlescent blue for me it’s the dogs bollocks 💙
IMO the old shape & front is spot on.. but then I haven’t seen the new one as yet maybe grow on me…
I had a go at Wrapping on a toolbox for my old Lambretta.. got through 3 sheets before I gave up lol
I can’t believe it’s been a year since you got the Caravelle - bloody hell where has the time gone.
Get the multi van done in a similar colour scheme.
Love this kinda stuff.. good man Dean.. wish I could do the same thing for my wife.. maybe this raffle.. 🤞 👍🏻 👍🏻
