    1968 bay window camper van. Imported from California and dry stored in this country. Some rust bubbling around the base of the windscreen which hasn't gotten worse in the 10 years we have owned it and a bit in the floor pans. All original, apart from the suspension being mildly lowered, and...

    Realistic Price

    Hi, sorry, been away. It's not original Paint unfortunately, resprayed in the states prior to coming to the UK. I believe the front beam had adjusters welded on and the rear has had the spring plates adjusted. This 'may' have been done by Jeff's VW shack in Bristol at the time it came over, as...

    Realistic Price

    Hi all, We're intending to sell our 1968 Tin Top (Cali import) Now I'm struggling with a realistic price to sell at, it appears that prices have significantly increased in the years that we have owned it, however, there appears to be a lot of vans for sale, way in excess of what I thought they...

    Wanted: Speedo & LHD Steering Box

    Hi Guys/Gals, I'm after a speedo for my 68 if anyone has one going. Also after a LHD steering box (still got lots of life in it but the clunking has started so just putting the feelers out). My dear old dad is also after a set of 15/16" alloys c/w tyres (5 X 120) if anyone has anything of...

    Techenders Sept 14-16 2012 - learn a bit about your van.

    Don't fancy doing a UK tour do you? It's a bit far away for us carrot crunchers in the West Country :mrgreen: Sounds like a great idea, I often thought it would be good to have an air cooled mechanics type course to attend to cover things like servicing and correct placement of fuel lines etc...

    Whereabouts of BAX130J

    That's a shame, thanks for that. I don't think it was off the road, I was the third owner since 2008 :roll: Cheers for checking ;)

    Roof Hammock from Rackhams anyone?

    Matt, I've got an original going spare that was recanvassed not so long ago. I'm only based at Burrowbridge and work in Creech St Michael most of the time. If your interested, I could sell it to you for a bargain price? Cheers Tony

    More space in mags for proper buses?

    Completely agree, I want to see air-cooled VW's in independent mags. Suprised I haven't seen everything else with a VW badge appearing in mag issues like caddys, golfs & Tourans etc. Don't get me wrong, I like the VW brand but I don't want to read about all of them.

    replacement gearstick

    I went CSP, great smooth gear change, quality bit of engineering and quite honestly, I try not to look at the base of the gear shifter when I'm driving so don't take much notice of the leather boot :?:
