Yesterday I saw what appeared to be a brand spanking new VW camper van in shiny black and white with a 2006 number plate. I always thought they had stopped making these - have they started again and if so does anyone have any info on them? If not, what was it I saw?
You did see a brand new one. I went to the camper & RV show at Bath last year and a company there had them for sale. Don't know the details of who & where, but can confirm they are new and cost just over £20k
New VW camper vans?

You can still buy brand new shells from VW. They still make a lot of these in Mexico i think, thats where you can buy a brand new bodyshell for very old toytas anyway.
But you have to build them up from scratch and register them as a brand new vehicle. Brilliant i think

They are AFAIR still produced in VW's Brazillian plant and are now commercially imported hers (although not by VW).

Volkswagen do Brasil still produces the old Type 2 van (they call it Kombi) upon which the campers were based.
See http://www.vw.com.br/default.asp?turl=%2Fautomoveis%2Fkombi%2FDefault%2Easp%3F
Danbury Motor Caravans near Bristol (http://www.danburymotorcaravans.com/index.shtml ) are importing some of these and producing camper van conversions.
Volkswagen do produce a new camper van, the California, but it is based on the current T5 Transporter van. See http://www.vw-nutzfahrzeuge.de/california/california.html
