Why can't UK get the special stuff?

Why can't we choose these Cali's over here in the UK?
All made in the same factory.
Would love to be able to spec a different colour canvas, another window at the front (for the beach), half/half paint work.

Feels a real shame we can't choose what others can.

That looks like a generation six caravelle in a different colour with a photoshopped roof.
I may be wrong.

If you go on the German configurator you can spec that paint work.

[Geezso]

Its not to be spec'ed there are editions like the caravelle

My point is that we can't choose them here.

Not yet. I like to think of it as the movies vs tv. We will get the films, eventually.

 

[daveyboydanger]

Yeah, eventually! Suppose I'm just impatient!

 

[Geezso]

Me too hence I couldn't wait on t6

The spec we get is determined by the importers, VWUK. If there is enough demand, I am sure they will get the required spec listed. Tell them what you want to see...but don't hold your breath!

Totally agree daveyboydanger, VW are missing a great marketing opportunity, and we get a range of conservative colours...

 

[Teejay]

Maybe if we drove on the other side then we'd have all the selection you'd ever want ?

 

[motacyclist]

I wonder if you could get the bottom half wrapped to make a two tone one?

 

[Loz]

I wanted the Raised suspension option but that is German only!

But that would be the wrong side

 

[Teejay]

But that would be the wrong side

Maybe we could move over to the left in stages, do HGV and buses first ?

 

[sidepod]

Just buy one from Germany then.

there we are

 

[MattBW]

Coventry has a two tone caravelle in the showroom right now.

 

[sidepod]

What's the problem with LHD?
After a few months you'll barely notice.

 

[briwy]

Dealers can't get it right now let alone even more options.

 

[Martin]

Looks like these are a special edition being launched in Germany, four different colour choices and looks like a new floor.

 

[Loz]

Are those the Red Army editions due for launch on the 24th?

 

[sidepod]

Liking it
