The Kombi is back, sort of, California Beach will be available to buy online only

Volkswagen T6.1 California Beach

There will only be 30 Volkswagen T6.1 California Beach variants available in Australia this year and you’ll only be able to buy them online.

Spiritual successor to the VW Kombi, the T6.1 California Beach will be available in Australia from June in strict numbers (only 30 units) and will only be available to buy online at 10am on June 24. Sure, tradies will be interested in the rest of the T6.1 Transporter range with its Euro 6 engines, but it’s the camper version that will have Aussie adventurers most excited.
