VOLKSWAGEN Commercial Vehicles and the organisers of the world's largest gathering of Transporter campervans, Vanfest, are inviting camper van owners to enter their vehicles into a special Five Generations of Camper' contest.

The winning vehicles will be exhibited at a Volkswagen-sponsored display at the show which takes place at the Three Counties Showground, Malvern from September 12-14.

About 8,000 Volkswagen campers are expected to attend Vanfest 2008, which is presented annually on behalf of the Volkswagen Type 2 Owners Club.

Volkswagen has an unrivalled and legendary history of camper vans, which have been popular for almost 60 years and one model of each generation will be chosen for the Five Generations of Camper display, including the iconic split-screen models from the 1950s right up to today's California model. The owner of each vehicle chosen will also receive £100 of approved Volkswagen merchandise.

To enter the competition, owners planning to attend Vanfest 2008 should email photos of their Volkswagen camper with their name, address and telephone number to 5generations@vanfest.org The full Vanfest programme includes a live performance by The Drifters, plus other live bands playing in the Transporter Tavern and entertainment marquee.

There will also be a variety of trade stands, and the latest Volkswagen Commercial Vehicles range will be displayed. Full details of Vanfest 2008 and the terms and conditions of the competition are available from www.vanfest.org
