Home from the Sussex VW show the weekend previous, no time to rest, the Lupo was being packed up ready for an all-nighter, off to bonny Scotland!  Travelling north to visit friends and family the week flew by; although the weather was to be expected, and pretty overcast.  Sunday we were to travel home, but … Continued

Customers Car: Same owner from new 64 Bug.

This is such a great story; owned by the same couple since brand new, they have never owned another car and are still as happy today with it as the day it was bought. As you can imagine potential purchasers are a frequent affair, with offers every time it gets parked up, but its definitely … Continued

Bug Jam through Bens eyes.

A little late, but heres our Trade sales manager Ben’s take on one of the biggest VW weekends in the UK. This is my umpteenth Bug Jam and the first time I was prepared for the ‘Mud Jam’ weather. Wellies and pac-a-mak in hand I arrived on Thursday for a weekend of standing around in … Continued

Sussex VW Show: This is what we saw.

Should of worn shorts, but apart from that no complaints on the day. Well organised show, only limited by the size of show field, and in my opinion classing all watercooled vehicles in one category (in the show and shine competition). With the Pub on site a nice cold drink out of the sun was … Continued

Customers rides: Jordan Crossing early bay

Fresh from its feature in August’s Camper and Bus magazine, and on their way back from the Spa show last weekend, we were treated to this cool early Bay. The Full story can be found in the magazine, but to summarise it used to be owned by a Californian Monastery who gave it to a murderer … Continued

When the heat hits the jam

So after getting to the jam about 10pm and setting up a tent in the dark we had a few drinks, met a couple of people and went for a walk around to see what was happening. We ventured into the fair which was packed and dance tent similarly, took some photos and chatted to … Continued

Patina'd ex Army Split: double cargo door.

“Theres something like 3 of these left in the world”…the owner told me, its a 65 split van, with cargo doors both sides! Being of Swedish army decent, formerly taking soldiers to and from the shops; well thats the guess cos its only done 40,000km from new. The van although looking rough round the edges … Continued
