The DC has been repainted close to original colour. We chatted to the owner; she has a small supermarket. She's not into VWs; the DC is just a donkey to her.

:shock:

That is in awesome condition - looks like parys is the place to be. Looks like a very happy and proud owner - will he be joining in with the Kamp Out in Feb ?

Nice pics, is the blue Fleetline the carpenter's work horse ?

And the black/white early bay - is it water cooled ?

Not abandoned. It's either WIP after a front-end collision, or that's the way they're rolling it.
