The Who guitarist, Pete Townshend has swapped his classic camper van for a new Volkswagen Transporter Sportline.
Pete and the rest of The Who clan have been working with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles since the band performed at a special weekend event, hosted by Volkswagen in Hanover last year to celebrate 60 years of the iconic Transporter van.
“I was really sad to say goodbye to our camper van as my partner Rachel and I had good times in it, but the Volkswagen Transporter I’m driving now is much better to drive, modern and much faster”, Mr Townshend confessed.
“We really like working with Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles, as we all grew up with their vans – that’s what gives authenticity to the cooperation. And we all still like today’s Volkswagen models as well,” said Pete Townshend, who also drives a Volkswagen Lupo.
Volkswagen Transporter Sportline includes 18 inch alloy wheels, lowered suspension, chrome side rails, rear roof spoiler, body-coloured bumpers, chrome upper and lower grilles above a lower front spoiler, and leather upholstery. It also has a 2.5-litre TDI engine producing 174 PS which can sprint to 62 mph in 12.2 seconds.
