Are these “beautiful design classics” actually going to be released in the UK?
I’d kind of forgotten all about this unmissable anniversary model until earlier when a colleague of mine who I only see about twice a year came strutting up to me. Ordinarily I try and hide under my desk if I see him coming as he’s both annoyingly cheerful and boring, but this time he had me cornered.
He’s been threatening to buy a Golf R since I can remember and would often mention it when I had mine seven years ago or so. It’s not like he can’t afford one, he gets a new T6 every year or two.
Predictably the first words to come out of his mouth were Golf R related and had I heard about the 20th Anni.
I replied that I’d not heard them mentioned for a month or so and so we had a quick look on VW UK where there was no mention of it as available to order, then quickly over to VW.de and it seems like they’ve been open to ordering for a while in Germany.
Maybe by the next time I see him I’ll a) be quicker to get under my desk and b ) will know they’re open to order. But he still won’t order one, he’ll get another T6…
