I wasn't aware that VW do a T5 with both Auto gearbox and 4 Motion. I thought that it was either or? I could be mistaken. Anyway, with the EDL diff lock, FWD is going to get you off wet grass 99% of the time unless you really dig in. My T4 auto has managed wet grass and mud without getting bogged down (yet - fingers crossed ).
Another point to check is that the 4x4 ride height might put your elevating roof slightly above the 2m limit, which is quite tight already with the T5, so you might need to consider fitting shorter springs to achieve your objective of getting under the height barriers.

Height barriers, schmight barriers.
I drove a 9ft 1ins tall Horizons Unlimited Innovation (swb Tranny) around as my daily driver for 3 years and never had a problem with height barriers. On the very rare occasions that there were barriers there was always an alternative somewhere close by. The problem is more perceived than real.
I now drive an 8ft 10ins Adria Compact as my daily driver so it didn't put me off.
Incidentally Horizons used to offer an extending roof version of their Cavarno (again swb Tranny) but dropped it due to lack of interest by buyers. When they realised how much storage they lost in the roof they nearly all opted for the hard top.
Are VW now supplying 174 4 Motions in the UK now? They didn't used to- but you can get them in Ireland in RHD. I think the bit about 174/4 motion/auto may be right as well.
Do you need a 174? On a private road (before conversion) my 130 went up to 120mph no problem!
EDIT: No they don't supply them in the UK - VW Vans
