Some examples are simply modified, while others become known by name.
‘Ernie’ firmly falls into the second category.
Built by the current owner, who specialises in Volkswagen conversions for a living, this isn't a project that was thrown together over a few weekends.
It represents more than three years of work, countless hours of craftsmanship and close to £65,000 of investment to create one of the most recognised Transporter pickups in the UK.
Importantly, ‘Ernie’ wasn't created by cutting down a standard panel van.
It was professionally built from a genuine two-owner Volkswagen T30 chassis cab, meaning the pickup conversion was completed exactly as it should be, retaining the structural integrity of the original whilst creating something completely unique.
Finished in striking Seat Slot Blue, the paintwork was professionally ceramic coated with Gyeon shortly after completion and still presents beautifully today.
