Starting with a 1969 Bay window being my first classic vw.
5 Years Later managed to save enough to buy my first split window , 1962 split window Crewcab
found in California again and needing some love and attention and after 2 years put my mark on in.
Another 4 happy years go by and I im ready for another splitty this time a 1960 15 window Delux hard top samba
Early 15s are Hard to find in the UK but heard of one being shipped over from California needing some work
and managed to sell my crew cab very fast and was first to view the bus as it arrived from the docks with the owner.
Essentially the floor pans and body were rust free and the wheel wells were all cut,and was missing all the interior fittings and rear seats although glass was all there so a free hand to fit it out with a camping interior to how I wanted it. getting it all up together in a 2 years including a full respray Thanks for looking.
Defiantly the best bus I have owned. and the most travelled in Europe. The Crewcab and the 15window both have had full centre
page magazine features which will always be proud of.
So Gone but not forgotten I can say the money made from the VWs got me onto the Porsche ladder,thanks VWs
