A friend of mine Jamie (Kraftwek VW) has just landed a cool find, I’ll let him explain –

It’s a family owned, 40,000 miles from new/full service history 1964 deluxe bug, totally stock in generally extremely good condition. External paintwork has a couple of bits of damage, not enough for it to be a hood ride but a bit too much to be a minter, but underneath the car has been waxoyled from new and is unmarked, never welded, none required, likewise the interior is genuinely like a new car (and I'm not exaggerating here!), under the bonnet is spotless, engine bay spotless - its awesome! The engine needed a spot of re-commissioning and a new fan belt and has run like a good 'un since... Spent all afternoon either gazing wistfully out of the window at it or thumbing through the service history and heaps of documentation that came with it (even the original sales brochure).

Can you tell he’s excited…

Purists should look away, as he’s already hit the front end with the narrowing stick.
