Yeah thanks.
I've dealt with Bob and Gunter @BBT in the past. Good guys, but ask ALOT of questions if you don't have the means to look at the car in person.
I've bought a couple VW's from them, and there always seems to be something wrong / broken / missing, etc. they didn't tell me about, or as they like to put it "you didn't ask". Funny, I though when I said tell me ALL the bad things that kind of covered it.

i went up there and had a dig about last week.. really enjoyed myself.. theyre nice blokes.. and it was the first AC VW dedicated place ive ever been to..

spent most of my time there chanting "oooohhhh"

Fri Jul 02, 2004 5:27 pm

well rich I got someone else wanting the digits for that car LOL

"nipple pink"

the perfect engine color for a vw- air-cooled for peak performance.

If its from BBT and you're American, its too much.

Their cars are WAY over priced. That standard split at the Classic was $30k and was about $10k overpriced.

The thing to remember about BBT is that they buy other people's cars then sell them for even more.

Of course, they have a lot of hard to find stuff so it may be worth it anyway if you don't have the resources or European contacts to find that particular vehicle.
