Simon Peacock, 34, from Stoke on Trent poses for a photograph besides his 1977 second generation or T2, bay window Volkswagen Transporter van in Newquay on August 7, 2014 in Cornwall, England. The van, which he bought for £2600 fourteen years ago was originally a panel van and is now worth roughly £14000. The Volkswagen Transporter was first produced in 1950 and has sold over ten million units worldwide evolving through five generations of functional and practical body styles, each representing the ultimate multi-purpose vehicle of its time. To commemorate the model's 60th anniversary in the UK Volkswagen has launched a special edition of the Transporter dubbed the Sportline 60. (Photo by Matt Cardy/Getty Images)
