So here she is, Scarlet The Enforcer!! These are the photos that the VW garage I bought her from sent me. I purchased her through the VW assured used scheme, I did pay a lot for her but she came with a years warranty and roadside assistance, so was a safe purchase. I didn't even view her before going to buy her! It took a long time to find the van I wanted, mainly because I wanted the 2.5 ltr engine, the main specs I wanted were:
- 2.5 ltr diesel engine in the 130 bhp version (better engine in my opinion, as they are chain driven, so no cam belt, they have 5 cylinders so there is less stress on the engine and more economical)
- Air Con
- Electric Windows
- Barn Doors
- No older than 3 years
- Any colour but white!
I phoned so many garages, and checked the VW website daily. One day I made a call to a VW centre in Newark and they mentioned that they had a mint condition Tornado Red T30 174bhp! Naturally I snapped at the chance of this van and put a deposit down straight away.
So to cut a long story short I travelled up on the train to pick up Scarlet and drive back home, the feeling of getting in her and then driving away with my dream vehicle was amazing!
