Hi Im a bit slow putting pics up of the new Beach, we picked it up at Easter and managed a trip to The Vendee so far and another trip there in 4 weeks time. We have 4 kids so a Beach was really the sensible option in the end after looking at Se/ Ocean and planning to take 2 x cars away with us. 
. This was a demo in the showroom with zero miles which I stumbled across one Sat afternoon whilst enquiring about an older Beach in stock.
This is my 5th T5/T5.1/ T6 having owned them for 8 years now.
In the past Lwb Kombi T5, Lwb T5.1 140 ps from new, T5.1 Caravelle Exec 180 dsg from new , T5.1 Lwb Kombi 180 dsg with Caravelle Conversion which is now purely the work van.
Latest member of the fleet T6 Beach 150 dsg very well specced.
Luckily from this forum I had heard about swivel gate before viewing the vehicle, of which I kept quiet about till the last moment, that combined with it being the last few days b4 the end of a sales quarter we managed a very healthy discount, then on top a 1k discount for having 3 other VW in my fleet it was a very good deal.
I already had the drivers seat Sportscraft swivel seat in my Kombi so all I had to buy was a passenger swivel and fitted them my self. ( Sportscraft swivel bases are TUV approved )
I paid up my membership tonight and ordered the Kador awning strip.
I just noticed I typed it was pre reg but it was not, I am the 1st owner on the log book.
