Welcome to the forum Sheila.
The Gatcombe ceased when the T5 was launched can't remember the exact year.
Are you still in ASOC ? We have been in for 11 years and can't be that far from you

Welcome to ASOF gimmefive

The T4 bodied Trident's went up to 2003 so guessing the T5 body came along in 2004, as for the Gatcombe / Clubman I cant say I've seen anything later than a 2002 so maybe AS knowing the T4 body was coming to an end decided to discontinue the model at that point.

Really think they are missing a trick not having a Clubman type body on a T5 unless there are reasons that I'm missing scratch head

I thought i had read some place the T5 was too expensive for them to use scratch head

which is why they abandoned the VW.
I agree with you the trick has been missed.

Don't worry about sending twice sometimes if the site is running slow you arnt certain if the send button has worked. We are away at the moment and no way could I persuade the laptop to connect this morning so this is from my phone. These things happen, just keep posting Sheila

My Clubman Anniversary is an '03 registered and built T4. Have a look at the cab windows and you'll see a couple of dots and a number after it - that denotes the year the glass was made.
