Following in its tyre-tracks as a great summer family day out is Simply VW on 13th August. Always a terrific occasion to see Vee Dubs of every type, from early air-cooled classics to modern-day GTIs, the 2023 rally promises to be more vibrant than ever, as it shares the showground with VW T Chill for the very first time. Adding even more eye-catching motors to the Simply VW line-up, the VW T Chill display of colourful VW campervans of all ages is sure to make you smile.
