Posh stately homes always provide an excellent venue for family VW shows, and Stanford Hall is one of the nicest, most chilled out and well attended meets of the season. Being located near to a river, thank goodness this year’s event on May 4th was blessed with dry conditions and lovely early spring sunshine which … Continued
Scorching hot weather for the 11th Hot VWs Drag Day at Irwindale California brought out not only the Bugs but also all sorts of other critters – including ‘Rabbits’ and even the occasional Thing. They’d come out of the woodwork to either soak up the sun or scurry down the quarter-mile drag strip at sub-six … Continued
It seems the world’s woken up to the fact that cars from ‘dry’ US states lack rust – and rocketing prices reflect this.

Check out this custom Beetle made up of 20,000 pieces of hand-crafted slices of oak, meticulously built on the chassis of a 1975 Bug. With help from his wife it took its creator, 57-year old Momir Bojic, a grueling 18 months to build…
It was a bad day at VW Heritage yesterday as over 50 staff were evacuated from our building in Burgess Hill, standing well away while we watched flames engulf our T25 Caravelle, before the Fire Brigade had arrived it had spread to claim 4 others and damage a couple more.
