It new Doubleback conversion, pictured, promises even more fun for Brits along with their neighbors. Its 2-liter I4 diesel engine produces from 138 to 179 horsepower, dependant on whether the one you've got is a version with dual turbochargers or not. America's love affair with VW's microbus spans generations, but nostalgia only goes so far.

The converted Doubleback sells for around $87,975 US dollars and extends the Transporter 5x6 ½ feet via an electric slide-out rear which you and your mates then camp in. It can also pack a full set of longboards in its innards, with room left over to hang out. Volkswagen Doubleback rocks Europe years after being discontinued in United States |
