Topic: UK mk1 Caddy Vans Posted: 01 Apr 07 at 21:36 |
OK It's no secret that I'm trying to sell my mk1 Caddy Van, but I'm interested to see what - if anything anyone knows about them??? I hear that they were bought in to the uk as pick-ups and converted by VW UK from new? It is listed on the V5 as a van. I believe that I've only ever seen one other on the road - and that was about 10 years ago! I wonder how many are left??? (how many were made even)?

What a shame!!! Funny when i sold it on eBay, I had a few people say that they have one - so I think you are now number 4 that I know of in existance!!!!
Hope you enjoy it!!!

I daren't, I quite fancy a camper, and it would just end up with me touring round the for sale section! Vehicle No 5 and still no house.... (because its not yet built, not because I've elected to live in four cars!)

WOW thats rare
Did GTI Engineering do the conversions ? as they did have a close relationship with VW UK to my knowledge.

I had a Caddy van a few years ago, bought for £200, stuck a Turbo diesel in it, and drove 6ooomiles round europe, and actually lived in it, WITH girlfriend and two surfboards. Have a set of rear doors in the barn if anyone needs them, replaced glass with perspex tho.
My mates called it the Pope mobile, due to high roof and narrow chassis!
