Thank you so much John, I am really appreciative to read this coming from you. I really hope to be able to meet you (and Udo, and some of the rest of the Samba gang) at Hessisch Oldendorf sometime, eventhough it's quite a journey from Munich.

Greetings,
Vlad

My 70 Vert, which I have owned for about 9 years now.

And I had to change the license plates, to drive it to the class reunion, since it was built the same month I graduated from High school.

Unfortunately, the 50th reunion got cancelled along with everything else last summer.

That's quite the religious dog you have there Wink

On another note, do I spy a black steering wheel? (cover?). You don't happen to need a restored ivory 55-57 steering wheel, do you Razz Very Happy ?

Ah...my Ghia is a '58. It does have a 1970s steering wheel glove, well spotted. I have never taken it off, if I did I'm afraid the steering wheel would fall apart. Laughing

Impossible Razz Mine is sitting in the garage with the trunk lid taken off, patiently awaiting a new German trunk seal to be glued in Razz

Nice one Hanzl Wink Love all the period correct details. I just love how the bumper curves around the front wing (underneath the blinker), it looks so good Wink

Thanks Vladiiii and rbsurfguy.

Put some effort in the car during the winter. Polishing and coated the paint and with the nice weather it is playtime.
The car and engine have matching numbers. Something to treasure...

Enjoy

Wall to wall blue skies means it's time for Nick (Wyatt Earp) to surrender to the Moxon photoshoot.

This morning we stuck to our normal locale, stopping off at a couple of photogenic spots to picture his recently acquired beautiful '56 Trout Blue Okrasa Lowlight. Rather amazingly there are now two very rare Lowlights in the village. Very Happy

What a beautiful site to see, two fine examples of VW's finest, set out in front of a stately mansion....The Ghia's clearly shame the opulence of that fine estate!
