Thought you all might like this, took the girlfriend to Ninove in the bus in March (her first ever vw show) she loved it! Then all the way back to suffolk all I got was 'I really want a beetle'
This persisted for a couple of months so we started looking about, had a look at a couple then my mate Si Henty sent me the samba link to this:
So 1 baking hot summers evening we jumped in the bus and went to north London to have a look, the moment she saw it she wanted it, I knew I wouldn't be leaving London until I struck a deal for her :roll: so after a bit of bartering I got it for a good price with the OG steels thrown in too :mrgreen:
We ended up with a 1960 Swedish import bug, had only been in the country a year and the last owner brought it from the original buyer in Sweden, got lots of history and is a lovely genuine little car
She loves it
First job was ditching those awful rims!!!
