Know someone with too much time on their hands? Or better still someone with spare time and a love of old vehicles? Well, that person is the ideal candidate for the Build Your Own VW Camper Van.
Just like an old model kit, you get all the parts, small screws and instructions to create your very own VW van And not just any old model, it’s a van with metal body, opening doors, ‘pull back and go’ motor, lights and dashboard.
Cheap too – the kit costs just £7.95.
No this isn’t a relic of the past – the TD2000 is a very modern sports car.
Its shape dates back to the 1950s (and possibly further), with the vintage look and old school Burr walnut dashboard certain to get admiring glances in the car park. But once on the open road, it’s up there with the big boys, packing a 1998cc, twin-cam, 130bhp, fuel-injected engine and five speed gearbox plus disc brakes on all wheels. There’s even a CD player, immobiliser and air conditioning – or you could just get some air in by opening up the soft top.
Check out the website for the close-up look, then check your bank balance. A standard TD2000 Silverstone sells for around £25,000.
Remember the Fiat 500 by Diesel? We featured it a couple of months back, but suspected it wouldn’t be made available in the UK. We were wrong.
Yes, you can now get your name down for a limited edition Fiat 500 by Diesel in the UK, but you have to do it online. Fiat is offering 10,000 of the limited editions to UK buyers on a ‘first come first served’ basis, with the option of configuring to your heart’s content and (we presume) home delivery.
Georg Jensen is best known for its eye-catching designer jewellery, but the company has taken something of a strange departure and gone into the bicycle business.
And this Georg Jensen bicycle is the first product. A classic bike made in conjunction with a classic bike maker – Sogreni of Denmark – with detailing courtesy of vintage British leather firm Brooks. For the not-inconsiderable price tag you get a single-speed, brushed steel bike hand-finished with the same level of attention as any of the company’s bling, plus a handmade silver-plated bell, premium leather seat and grips and some chrome mud guards.
If you live in a crime-free area, you can pick up this limited edition bike in the very near future in ‘selected’ Georg Jensen stores, priced at £2,800.

If you really want to treat your kids this Christmas (or think you can squeeze in yourself), you can pick up this Audi limited edition Auto Union Type C pedal car.
Limited to just 999 and coming in at half the size of the original, the Auto Union Type C is a re-creation of a classic 1936 Audi racer, replacing the engine with ‘chain drive’, supported by 7-speed transmission, a back-pedal brake, hand brake lever with a locking function and hydraulic double disc brakes.
The car itself has an aluminium frame, oak dashboard, leather steering wheel and a quick-release system for a quick exit. None of which comes cheap – if you want one, you can order the Auto Union Type C now for £6,800. See the website for more images.
