      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……..
