'New Look' August 2010 issue on sale NOW!    To buy the latest issue online, click here! The Editor says...   This month’s cover car has been a long time coming. I first booked a photoshoot of Chris Lambourne’s van a couple of years ago, only to learn just a day later that it had been destroyed in an accident! But here we are, two years on and we’ve finally got it all together and featured. And I’ve got to say that I’m quite proud of both the photography and the vehicle itself – after all, this is a British-built project and is based on an original, UK-supplied right-hand drive van. It just goes to show that we Brits can produce show (and go) cars to equal anything in the world right now. It’s a tough question and a bold statement, but if you asked me to pick my favourite Type 2 from anywhere in the world, this would probably be the one. Sure, there are some super-straight restorations of some far rarer Buses out there, but this one is, for me, the ultimate all-rounder. I’m talking about raw power, faultless bodywork, a great stance and total driveability, too. Now I’m not exactly a Bus guy, so this realisation was quite a surprise to me, but the more I think about this ride, the more I love it. Read the full story in the latest issue and make your own decisions though. Of course, everyone has a different idea of their dream VW (and I thought I knew what mine would be before sitting in Chris’s Bus!); hence I’d love to hear what yours might be? Or perhaps you are lucky enough to already own your dream VW?
