Hi, newbie to the samba, but been an owner for about 16 years now.
We have a 1971 dormobile with a slightly fruity 2.0l stroker and a modified ratio gearbox care of John Walklett.
The wife also has her own KG convertible which enjoys a 1776 and a “freeway flyer”, and since it had already been slammed the old fashioned way and very uncomfortable we treated it to air thanks to Eva Resto.

Hi Marvel,

Welcome to The Samba. What a great looking pair! My first VW was a 1963 Ghia convertible purchased in 1968. Loved it.

I'm thinking RHD, with slightly odd perspective.
