Volkswagen T2 ‘Bay Window’ (1968 – 1979)

February 2nd, 2017

Volkswagen Introduced their next generation transporter in 1967 with every part of it completely new and it showed. Gone was the split screen front window as well as the V front end.

Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14 (1955 – 1974)

August 15th, 2016

Volkswagen had great success with their people’s car the Beetle and now it was time for something a bit more exotic. The Type 14 or Karmann Ghia was debuted at the 1953 Paris Auto Show as a styling concept for Ghia. It was a 2+2 coupe with hand-shaped body panels smoothed with English pewter normally used in the production of top end cars. The Karmann Ghia adopted the same floorpan and engine variations as the Beetle and so it always looked a lot faster than it actually was.

Volkswagen Scirocco (1974 – 1992)

When the Volkswagen Scirocco was launched in 1974 at the Geneva Motor Show it was the replacement for the beautiful Karmann Ghia which although had all the right looks of a sports coupe from the 50’s and 60’s never really fulfilled it’s potential as a real sports car due to its lack of power and in some terms, it’s looks. The Karmann Ghia tended to appeal to female customers, whilst the Scirocco (code name EA398 whilst in development), designed by Italdesign in Turin, appealed to both markets.

Volkswagen Beetle (1957-1967)

The Volkswagen Beetle was produced over seven decades from 1946 until 2004 no other car had been made for so long and remained so similar in looks than this German icon. Its purpose initially was to get Nazi Germany mobile but after the war the British army took control and the car was sold across the world as a practical and economical run around.

This basic car was constantly being improved and updated moving very nicely with the times but also sticking to its air cooled routes much like its Porsche cousin it really was a case of if it’s not broke, don’t fix it.

Volkswagen Golf GTI (MK 1 / MK 2)

August 11th, 2016

The VW Golf GTI is one of the most iconic and influential automobiles that Volkswagen has ever produced. The Volkswagen Golf GTI brought a bit of everything to the table, a practical hatchback, economical with pace and handling at an affordable price, what’s not to love. The buying public agreed as the GTI sold well and it didn’t take long for other car makers to catch on such as Ford’s XR2, Peugeot’s 205 GTI and Vauxhall’s Astra GTE to name but a few started to come out of the woodwork.

“Very helpful over the phone, excellent personal service. Having been with Heritage for 14 years, we now have a multi-car policy covering our modern cars as well. Would highly recommend.”

Highly recommended

“I would certainly recommend your company based on my experience with one of your advisors: Mr Liam Campbell. He was a courteous, professional individual with excellent knowledge. I was well informed and at no point felt pressured to take out the policy. He is an asset to your company.”

Fantastic service

“Already having a car policy with Heritage I felt I would approach the firm with regards to a quote for another motor, this I found to be a excellent move. The young man I spoke to was in my opinion very pleasant and helpful in obtaining a quote which I found to my liking and accepted. In my past dealings with Heritage over some years I found them to be very helpful.”

Top firm to deal with

“Fantastic knowledgeable customer service, cannot fault the team in who I’ve dealt with. I’ve recommended them to everybody I know with a 4×4.”

The help was outstanding

“From initial phone contact to completing the Car Insurance for my classic vehicle the process was made as pleasant as I had ever experienced due to the professionalism and product knowledge of the staff member involved.”

Would not hesitate to recommend Heritage

“I have dealt with this company for the last ten years; this says it all. I’ve always found them helpful, so much so that I did my house insurance with you for the first time this year. Found Jamie very helpful.”

I’ve always found them helpful

“I felt they asked all the relevant questions plus taking into account my choice of cover requirements and I now feel confident that I am insured with a reputable company with the cover level I require. The 2 Heritage staff I dealt with were knowledgeable, helpful and did not pressure me at all.”

Asked all the relevant questions

“I found the service provided by Heritage Insurance Brokers absolutely excellent.

The gentleman I spoke to was courteous, cheerful and extremely helpful. I would recommend them to anyone.

Not only was the service spot on, they saved me over £100 compared to my renewal quote.”
