Marathon winner!

A big congratulations is in order for long term friend of VW Heritage Mike Peckham for his feature this month in Ultra VW. In what seems to be a running theme (after ex employee  Tommy V’s modified marathon was volksworld cover star last year) Mikes stock example has claimed a 5 page spread. We are … Continued

Vanfest: Malvern just a show..

Vanfest, billed as the worlds largest VW Transporter show certainly didn’t disappoint. It seems to be covering more days each year, we were at the site on Thursday setting up parts and readying ourselves for three days of type 2ness.

It's over for another year

There’s ‘Ivy’ a 1966 1300 (converted to 1600) Beetle that he’s spent five years restoring, modding and adding his own stamp too. Check out that seriously cool headlining!! He also owns … Continued
