Inside Ewan McGregor’s retro VW camper van collection – and which motorhome he has his eye on next
EWAN McGregor's retro VW camper van collection has been revealed, while the film superstar is also looking forward to an all-new electric model to transport the family on holiday.
The Scottish actor confessed that he's loved Volkswagen cars since he was a kid, mainly because he grew up watching his grandad working on old motors and bikes in his garage.
In the 70s, Ewan's parents owned a Beetle that they used to go on holidays every year - often travelling from Scotland to Brittany in France.
Later, when he was 14 years old, he worked as a pot washer at the Murraypark Hotel in Crieff to pay for his first car: a green Beetle.

He said: "I probably would have taken any car I could afford, but it turned out to be the Beetle - and it completely changed my life."
Sadly, he had to sell his much loved car to pay for his drama school fees.
McGregor added: "I searched for my Beetle, but unfortunately never found it again since it was last registered in the early 1990s. It's a shame, but it just disappeared."
The actor has never been able to buy back his first car, but is now a passionate collector of Volkswagen classics.
Among these are three Beetles and a 1960 T1 Transporter pickup.
His garage is also home to two 1967 Volkswagen Westfalia camper vans, which he associates with wonderful trips with his children.
