Our brace of Beetles

Post by jmvv »

This is what we lock up in the shop tonight.

Image

From left to right:

Duifie, Andrè's dove grey barn find 1970 1600 single port with suspected original engine.
This was taken just after it drove for the first time in years.

Borrie, my yellow 1971 1300 twin port with confirmed original engine (same number as in the original service book)

Andrè's turquoise 1972 1600 twin port with confirmed original engine (confirmed by original documentation).
This is a current project, put on the back burner by the arrival of the grey car.

I think I can safely say that my shop has been "bugged" :lol:

Sambas in South Africa are good for only 2 things: showing off and sunburn.
