The Original Term Deposit!

Slide Icon

Many Kiwis now in their late 50’s, 60’s and 70’s, like Bob and Jane, hooned around Europe in a beloved Kombi van. They bought them, named them, and sold them on for more than they paid for them at the end of the tour.

Slide Icon

The Kombi was Bob and Jane's transport, their home and the epitome of every adventurous goal they wanted to kick – an investment that gave back in every way and never forgotten.

The original term deposit!

Imagine if the retro Kombi had heating and air conditioning today – Bob and Jane might invest in another one!
