I really miss my old tin top bay so I am looking to trade by lovely bug back for a van I know it’s a long shot but I suppose it’s worth a try. The bug is a 1974 Karmann cabrio. Imported from Italy and rebuilt around 2003 by Paul Knight of ultra VW fame. It’s a very tidy example that...

Is this still for sale?

The carbs will probably be Solex 23/34 pdsit's. Usually found on type 3/4 motors. Oh, and id go for option 3. :)

Between the tank and pump. And as others have said, Fitted somewhere where you can check it and deffo not above the dizzy.

early vs late bay. which ones better? there is only one way to find out.......Fighhhhhhhhhhhhhht!!!!!!!!!!!!! :D Yes i am an odd ball who lurks here without the 'correct' bus. But to me it doesnt matter as i am not a car snob. This forum is probably the best one around. It helped me learn...
