OK, so it doesn’t come with a toothpick but it’s got everything else.

The jewel in our T5 Transporter crown is the 2008 T5 Transporter Special Edition model. Featuring our class leading 2.5TDI 128kW engine (400Nm), in short wheelbase form and with up to $8,000 worth of free factory extras, this model is available from March 08.

There’s only one snag, only 25 are available in New Zealand and with a starting price of $50,000, it’s slightly more expensive than a pocketknife but far more useful.

Bonus 'Special Edition' Features;

• 16 inch alloy wheels
• colour coded bumpers
• rain-sensing wipers
• rear parking aid
• air conditioning
• alarm system
• auto-dimming mirror
• driver's seat armrests
• blue-tooth phone kit
• available in Reflex Silver or Off White
