Volkswagen to Shine at CV Show

The British arm of Volkswagen Commercial vehicles is announcing its return to the CV Show, with the company promising to bring a wide range of vehicles to the event, which is scheduled to take place at Birmingham's NEC between April 12 and 14.

The carmaker’s display will be headlined by the four-wheel-drive, four-door Amarok and will include a line-up of nine other models. Another start of the VW display, which will be located in Hall 5, will be the Caddy Racer, set to make its racing debut at the opening round of the 2011 Volkswagen Racing Cup, on 25 April at Oulton Park.

“In addition to these models, and continuing a life in the spotlight which has spanned 60 years, will be a model from Volkswagen’s heritage collection in the shape of a fully restored 1954 split-screen ‘barn-door’ Transporter – a model that has become a legend of great design and durability,” stated the press release.

Both the four-door, four-wheel-drive Amarok and the Caddy Racer will make their public debut on Tuesday, April 12 at 9:30 am.

“Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles is proud to be back at this year’s CV Show, which is a very important date in the commercial vehicle calendar.  We are extremely excited to finally introduce the Amarok to the UK buyers, showcase the diversity, versatility and competitiveness of our vans and people carriers, and I also cannot wait to see my new Caddy Racer for the first time!” said Simon Elliott.
