Say Hello to Vinnie – A VW T6.1 Built for Family Adventures

Vinnie is a beautifully tailored VW T6.1 conversion, custom-built for a family of three ready to embrace the freedom of van life. With a smart commercial aesthetic and family-focused functionality, Vinnie offers the perfect blend of comfort, practicality, and standout style.

Exterior: Clean, Smart, and Practical

Keeping true to its commercial roots, Vinnie retains the original grey bumpers, giving it a rugged yet refined presence. The white pop-top roof with black canvas creates a sharp, modern contrast that complements the overall aesthetic beautifully.

Interior: Thoughtful Details & Stylish Finishes

Inside, Vinnie is a real showstopper. The contrast between our bespoke white gloss cabinetry and warm oak wood countertops brings a clean, contemporary feel to the space. Built-in custom shelving includes integrated sockets for added convenience — perfect for charging devices or powering small appliances.

The kitchen is fully equipped with a fridge, sink, and an induction hob — offering a gas-free cooking solution that’s clean, efficient, and ideal for modern van life.

Designed for Family Comfort

Comfort was at the heart of Vinnie’s design. A Rock and Roll bed with striking white double diamond stitching offers both a plush seating area by day and a cosy bed by night. The 50/50 rear storage system provides ample room for family essentials, while a neatly placed reading light adds extra comfort during evenings in.

The van is fully carpet-lined and insulated throughout for warmth and soundproofing — a must for year-round adventures. A swivel base on the passenger double seat opens up the living space, creating a more sociable and functional area inside.

Finishing Touches

To complete the look, Vanshades Thermals all round in Flame add a bold pop of colour and ensure privacy and temperature control in style. Subtle LED lighting in the roof provides gentle, ambient illumination to enhance the warm and welcoming feel of the space.

And finally — the upgrade to Wolfrace Black Gloss alloy wheels adds the perfect finishing touch to Vinnie’s exterior, giving the van a sleek, confident stance that truly completes the look.

Vinnie is a perfect example of how thoughtful design and high-quality craftsmanship can turn a van into a stylish, family-ready travel companion. Every detail has been considered — all that’s left to do is hit the road.
