Volkswagen is celebrating the 60th anniversary of the Transporter in style, by offering a limited edition of this model called the Sportline 60.

This limited edition can be had as a Kombi or panel van in long or short-wheel base guise.

The exterior upgrades include 18-inch five-spoke alloy wheels, glossy black door mirror covers, black steel sidebars, front and rear parking sensors and model specific decals.

On the inside passengers are treated to a Kenwood navigation system with support for Bluetooth connectivity and new quilted and embossed leather upholstery.

The Sportline 60 is powered by a 2,0-litre BiTDI turbodiesel engine that delivers 132kW and 400Nm of torque. This powered is delivered to the road via a six-speed manual or seven-speed DSG gearbox.

It never felt like it was working hard, and after 2 400 kilometres, neither did I.
