VWs past and present

My first beetle in 1986, L plates weren't mine



That got written off by a crappy little 2CV in '87 so we bought this LHD 1302s. 8x15 wellers on the front, 6x14s on the front



Following on from that we bought a '72 Westfalia camper in '89



then a rotten '75 Devon camper in '95 I ended up parting it out for oodles of cash in '03



Bought this and ran it around for 4 years, hated the thing.



Came in handy towing the 412 Variant back from Devon though



£70 on ebay, was a mess and broke it for spares

£50 lasted a day in one piece, again broken for bits ( we've still got some left )



The £300 Ghia, 10 years abandoned and vandalised. We started having more kids so ended up selling it and buying the Eriba Puck.
Fibreglass flipfront was an ex US drag car ( apparently :/ )

Selling the Ghia made space for the '63 Eriba Puck



can't remember when I had this, probably after writing off the Audi Coupe



jaz's bus after she bare-metaled it



our £50 beetle, stood for 4 years in the same spot. splash of petrol, jumped from my bus and jaz drove it home. £20 in parts for the MOT and we drove it around all year




a cheap set of minilites later




jaz's beetle still lives in our garage



my old '64 split, I miss that bus



both our buses on our Art By Beck stall at Brighton Breeze '07



The interim car when both buses broke down last xmas
now scrapped and ebayed and still got the 1.9TD to go into jaz's bay when I get a chance




The T4 9 seater caravelle , 5 cylinder 2.4 diesel running our homebrew biodiesel

en-route to The Lakes, 9 people on board, towing the Puck with 140 litres of biodiesel under the bed

Some lovely vehicles there mate. Get me a £50 Beetle that works please

The Ghia is my one of my Dads favourite cars

Ghia's go for mad prices, we sold our wreck for £350 and it needed splitting from the floorpan, new floors putting in and a new engine.
I've got a local friend with one of only 2 automatic Type 3 Karmann Ghias in the UK
they look a bit different to the Type 1 (like ours)

This is his before it caught fire on the M23 a couple of months later.
A bit worrying as he's paralysed from the waist down, but he's nearly got it back on the road



this isn't his but it's up for sale for £15k
