 |

What: Vintage VW Show focussing on pre 03/1955 VW Busses
Where: Amersfoort, the Netherlands
When: 19-20 April, 2014
More info about registration, costs, camping/hotel, etc will follow asap on the website: www.BenPon.nl
"The original idea for the T1 van or Volkswagen Type 2 came from the Dutch Volkswagen importer Ben Pon, who drew the first sketches of the van in 1947."
Ben Pon lived and worked in Amersfoort, the Netherlands. There is still a lot of Volkswagen history out here and that's why Amersfoort is the perfect location to bring, as many as possible, Barndoor busses together!
Participating vehicles:
- VW Barndoor Buses until 03/1955 on the main square!
- Volkswagen Type 2 / Splitbuses up to 1967
- Volkswagen Beetles, KdF-Wagen up to 1957
- Type 128 and 166 VW Schwimmwagen
- Type 82 VW Kübelwagen 1940 - 1945
- Coachbuilt bodies on a VW chassis up to 1967
- Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 14 up to 1959
- Volkswagen Karmann Ghia Type 34 up to 1969
- Volkswagen Type 3 1500 + 1500S up to 1965

Great initiative! A good goal for slow BD-resto projects...
Is it 2013 or 2014 ? |

I'll be there!
Can I make a request.
Can we get the Dutch Plattenwagen that was at the last Ben Pon event in 97 to attend?
JD get your repo prototype there. I know it's not to everyone's taste but it would be great for the year lineups and for talking points.
C u next year. |

If we finish the work on on the Bullikartei Plattenwagen from 1946
we will bring it there !
