You may know it but 2014 marks the 60th anniversary of the VW Transporter in the UK, and to celebrate Volkswagen has announced a new special edition model called the Sportline 60.

In addition, Volkswagen is also releasing a 'birthday present' in the form of a special package of features for all VW Transporters. These add-ons are exclusive extras and Volkswagen says they will allow owners of the T5 Transporter to really make their vehicles stand out from the crowd.

The 60th anniversary pack is available to buy from the 22nd September 2014 and will include Chrome detailing on the mirror caps, side indicators, tail guard and grille. There will also be LED running lights, waterproof embroidered seat covers, plus 'Transporter 60' decals for the exterior.

According to Volkswagen, the first 250 customers who order the accessory pack will be given a copy of a limited edition coffee table book that celebrates 60 years of Transporters in the UK. The anniversary pack prices start from £609 and go up to £1,009 (incl VAT and fitting). The pack is expected to be available into 2015 as an end date has not yet been set.
