Vanfest 2011 – show report

Welcome to vanfest weekend, sun is out and the show is bustling. Friday was a quieter day but the crowds are coming through the doors! We dont get much of a chance to walk round during the day, so we’re limited to checking out the Vw stands and traders in the evening.  There are lots of stands this year, selling anything from VW related tshirts and clothing, VW parts and accessories, camper resprays and restoration and camping accessories.

Come check us out in the Wye barn, bay 1 at the Three Counties showground Malvern, Vanfest 2011 VW show.

I heard something to do with a boycott vanfest this year, sadly something had cut down numbers I hope it wasnt to do with the boycott, but simply lack of money or the weather….its s shame if it was the boycott as it means that some traders will choose not to attend shows in the future and that would be a shame for the customers.

56 Samba is going home

The best accolade to any project is a positive response from the public.  Our Samba was not exception.  We had an amazing response at Stanford Hall, with people queuing up on Alan Schofield’s stand to get a look inside.

Within a week of the Samba coming up for sale, we’d had an enquiry from where it came, Germany.  The guy came over as quick as he could and the van is on its way home.   Couldnt have asked for a nicer chap to buy the Samba.

 

Unveiled: 23 Window Samba at Stanford Hall VW show

Stanford Hall will be a big show for us this year, with the unveiling of our new VW T5 show van and also the long awaited 1956 23 window Samba, a joint venture with Smiths of Cornwall.

Not only will the Samba be on show, with many of this countries best going out of this country and going to the USA. Even in this economy, VW Splitscreens, in particular the rare classics have been a source of investment for many collectors with many of the best specimens being exchanged for money in excess of $120,000.00

This 23 window samba is no exception, down to minute details this vehicle has been full restored to its original status, returned to its original color, some NOS panels and doors to a replica Oak interior, this example hopes to be one of the best you will see in the UK today.

Buying from Ebay / Online

Hi Guys, just a word of warning, we’ve been contacted recently about one of our customers vans, Ollie – seems its on ebay for sale, however, it was sold back in August….so if you buying via ebay

Please do not part with your cash until you have the van and V5
Do not send your money over and have the van collected, photos are not proof of ownership
Ensure that van hasnt been listed recently before – could be someone relisting it to gain money from you
Visit the van, check out any links – in this case potential buyers called us to check the location and if the van was genuine

Above all, there are genuine people out there, but also a small number of scammers, so please be careful
