VW Beetles & other cars on route from England to Morocco in 1969 NASkeet
In 1969, my parents and I (then aged about 13) went on an overland "adventure holiday" from southern England to Morocco (including the Sahara Desert & Atlas Mountains), via France & Spain, with a small travel company called "Safari".
We travelled in a relatively new (G-suffix registration year), blue-coloured, 12-seater, long wheel-base (109 inches), Series IIA Land Rover, with full-length roof rack for luggage & camping equipment (including inflatable 3-man igloo tents with integral ground-sheets), and two spare wheels [one on the dished-bonnet (i.e. dished-hood in USA parlance!?!) spare-wheel carrier and the other on the rear-door spare-wheel carrier].
Accompanying us was another vehicle belonging to "Safari", which is the red first-generation Ford Transit diesel minibus with double rear wheels, alongside the blue Series IIA Land Rover in the top picture.
On route I saw two white-coloured VW Type 1 Beetles of that era, parked at the side of the road; shown in the top & middle photographs.
In the top photograph, I'm the boy sitting on the Land Rover's roof rack with my legs dangling over the side. There is a VW Beetle clearly visible between what looks like a white Renault Dauphin (another car with rear-mounted air-cooled engine) and a brown car which resembles a Hillman Husky.
In the middle photograph of a street-scene in Morocco, I'm the boy standing on the Land Rover's right-hand front wing (i.e. fender in USA parlance!?!). The bearded man with spectacles, in white T-shirt & blue-jeans, standing to the right and looking up at me, is my father, who at that point in history had a white 1964 VW 1200 Type 1 Beetle, bought new in 1964 from SMT in Dundee, Scotland. There is one VW Beetle barely visible behind the man on the bicycle, to the left of my father. View other images: From NASkeet Search Forums for photo
