Hi all - I'm putting this here and also in the Meeting Room section. While clearing stuff out of the loft at the weekend (a long overdue quarantine job!) I found a pile of Volksworld magazines. These are: 2010 - Summer, October and December 2011 - Jan, Feb, April, July, August, Summer, Sept and...

Hi all - I'm putting this here and also in the Trading Post section. While clearing stuff out of the loft at the weekend (a long overdue quarantine job!) I found a pile of Volksworld magazines. These are: 2010 - Summer, October and December 2011 - Jan, Feb, April, July, August, Summer, Sept and...

It's that time of year again when, if you keep your VW outside, it gets battered by the elements. I used this to cover my 74 Bug. It's a 4-layer Stormforce car cover (model CCC 248 - correct for Beetles), and did a great job of protecting the car (it's waterproof, and breathable). The...

Carpet set from a 1974 Beetle. This is NOT in mint condition - but might do the job for you if you need a carpet set (or part thereof). As far as I am aware it is complete. Holes for heater ducts front and rear. It is worn through just above the rubberised part (see photo below), but when in...

Out of interest (and maybe these should just be binned – but they may be useful to someone!) I also have a set of exhaust gaskets (spare, from when I replaced the exhaust last year), a set of unused points (I had electronic ignition fitted), and a rear light lens, that are free of charge – if...

It’s been quite a while since I last checked in here – since Zippy moved on to his new owner I’ve been on the search for a replacement set of wheels, but nothing grabbed my fancy. I feel I’ve done the Beetle thing, and deep down want(ed) a Ghia – but could find nothing suitable (well, not for my...

Would this be of any help? Im based in the Midlands.

Feeling sadder than I thought I would. I know its only metal and glass and rubber and plastic, but I'm going to miss him. Here he is, just after being taken out of his home, and waiting patiently in the rain for the arrival of his new owner..... .......am I regretting this already????

ZIPPY - 1974 1.3 TP Beetle (PART 2)

For sale, ZIPPY, my 1.3 Twin Port Beetle which was first registered in February 1974, and is an Irish built car. I’m the third registered owner and have owned him for the past 8 years and in that time we’ve covered just over 10,000 miles. He has been very well looked after, and very reliable...

And those Specials - available in any colour you want...... as long as it's Orange (maybe Orange is the new Black afterall) And this one will be fine - I'm sure it'll polish out.... Lovely colour And not just Bugs, Buses and Ghias.... And an example of how to do a resto right. This...

A big thanks to all involved in organising today - it was a great way to spend a few hours on a Saturday :-) Here are some pics taken on a walk from one end to the other:

fantastic work on the trophy, Paul - a work of art. And what a great idea with the key rings - very cool. Last night started preparing Zippy for Jumpstart, and like Coxy, took him to the local garage to hose him down, then a quick.... well, quick for Zippy..... drive back to dry, clean...

And some others that grabbed my attention....

And finally...

And there's more...

I'll apologise in advance.... these photos are nowhere near the standard above - but in my defence I had to rush around the show, got there later than planned and had to make a hasty enough exit to make it to Dublin to see The Stranglers :-) Aircooled......

And some more......

Went to this last week - but just getting pics off the phone now. Some very cool machinery on show. And great to see cars from my younger day that I just don't see on the road anymore (like the Vauxhall Viva I learned to drive in - then subsequently blew the head gasket on. Or the Triumph...

Oh... Just found this on the phone. This, apparently, (and read this in yer best Jeremy Clarkson voice) is the oldest known original right-hand drive barndoor.......... (get the pause right)..........in the world:
