2016
All change!
2016 has certainly been a year of surprises, regardless of your political persuasion! But perhaps the disappointing exchange rates will encourage us all to ‘Staycation’ in 2017 and make the most of owning a VW. There are so many great places to visit in the UK and a huge range of festivals, shows and events, you’ll look back and wonder why we all queued up at the airports to go abroad!
For the Classic VW owner there has also been good news that your investment has risen, according to 2 different reports, by around 10% in the last 12 months, which has to be a better return than money in the bank!
We've developed a whole new range of body panels here at JK, with our on-site workshop going flat out to fulfil orders and Developing new body panels. As with all of our exclusive UK made panels, they've been made to the original specification from the highest quality materials, and have decades of experience and skill behind them.
2016 saw us bring in a whole fleet of rare and unusual VWs from Brazil. We displayed them at the VolksWorld Show in the spring, and they were really well received. Although we'd have loved to keep them all, we've got a lot of VWs already here at JK, and space is at a premium in our warehouse, so they've been bought by VW enthusiasts around the world and are now enjoying new homes.
Our range of parts for VW T5s and T6s has grown once again, with a whole host of new parts and accessories being added to our range. This is one of our fastest growing ranges, as there are always new products to be tracked down and tested, so it's certainly keeping us busy!
As we're sure you've noticed, the JK website has been updated! We've made a real effort to make it even more user-friendly and to cut out any 'clutter' that was getting in the way. Our improved product pages now clearly display as much information as possible about the products we're offering without being overwhelming, and we've added in a lot of new features to help you get exactly the parts you're after.
The end of summer means the start of us expanding and improving our warehouse. This has become something of an annual tradition here at JK, and this year is no exception. We've added a whole new mezanine section to the warehouse, effectively doubling the amount of parts and accessories we can hold - which is just as well, as we've got a lot of new products coming in over the next few months!
