Volkswagen

Volkswagen's British register begins with air cooled Beetles and Type 2 vans but extends through Golf, Polo and Passat generations to SUVs, performance cars and the modern ID electric range. The company has also supplied a huge number of commercial vehicles and camper bases, including Transporter and Crafter families. That mixture of everyday cars, enthusiast classics and working vehicles gives Volkswagen an unusually broad survival profile.
