VW's in the late 80's / early 90's

These were mine in the early 90's. The Beetle was bought as a wreck to be a donor for a Chesil speedster but a trip to a VW resto cobble shop introduced me to a pile of old volksworlds and I got the bug. This particular camper went early in favour of a 68 westy. I kept the Beetle till 2005 by which time it had got decidedly rat look.

Don't think I'll ever go back to aircooled VW's unless I happen across a barn find Razor or finally do a Chesil.

I too had bad hair but more of it.

I liked that KG, you sold that on to me and I sold it on to the Isle of Man. Had a stripped out primer white 343 at the same time. Pics to follow... I still have a set of mint 6 piece bumpers, clear indicators and Robbi vent trims wrapped up in the barn!

Sort of, I bought it, picked it up from London and then gave it to him as payment for the paint on this

Bought via Ritchie in early 90s.

Repainted by Joe 'the wad' in Southend

Featured on front cover of Volksworld in 95

Drove into Beetle Bash at the Pod the weekend the mag came out and it proved to be a great talking point with girls from up North
