I'll be arriving in London on September 7th for two weeks. I'll be the typical Yank tourist exploring the city and its environs.

If there are any friendly Brits who might like to show off their RHD vehicles to me and/ or point me in the direction of any close-by VW shows, I'd certainly appreciate it.

Please PM me.

Regards

Are you staying in London for the 2 weeks or traveling around the UK.
I dont know any shows around London in the next 2 weeks, but on the 8/9/and 10th Vanfest at Malvern Big show and worth the visit, but not near London. You could also post on the splitscreen van club for someone who lives in London http://www.chocksaway.com/phpbb/

Also put a posting on this this Volksone forum Here

Anyone want to buy a sweet '74 Ghia convertible? I've been instructed by the owner to sell it while he's on holiday in the UK. :D
