Does any one have one?
Went to a job today and there was no way I could drive up the yard as it is very steep and was a sheet of ice.
This guy turns up to shoe some horse in a Volkswagen 4 motion drove straight up the yard turned around not even a little spin, absolutely incredible.

Not got one, but know the VW market a bit, and they are rare as hens teeth.
If there are any used, they will likely be a reasonable price, as the 4wd set up need servicing, and people are wary of them, so they tend to be decent value. There are a few T4 syncro's out there too.
In the 2-3 weeks of ice/snow we get a year, they would be great, however, you lose out on fuel consumption the rest of the time, so I guess it depends on where you are in the country, as to if you can justify it.

tried looking for one but couldnt see one for sale anywhere,

Would love to have a 4 motion Transporter, but so expensive. :-[
Was pulled up by a 4x4 today, got stuck at bottom of a very slight hill, thought it would be okay, but no way, couldn't even get 20 yards up the hill. Nice customer. Called it a day, got £67 in. Tomorrow ice cold the whole day. Staying in I think.

Hi Tim
I have sent for a brochure from local vw garage.
Been out all week with about 2 inches of snow, but had a good week pay wise. But some times have used the ladders and it comes hard. ;D

Do want. :D
Good vids on youtube.
Quite a few on eBay. But you are going to need some good finance on that....seriously thinking about 4wd for my next van purchase, they are just brilliant. That, and a hot system.
Then again, the old Berlingo is still doing fine. Not bad for a 1997 van....

I think the payload is a bit low on them. Try looking at a transit swb awd. That would have similar grip and a better payload.
