Whats Our first show for 2011…Stanford Hall VW

Stanford Hall VW show will be our first show of the season this year. We are busy getting orders out for Easter at the moment, but Stanford Hall VW show holds a special place in our hearts and in the diary!! This was one of the very first shows we attended with our trusty 1971 1302s beetle, too many years ago! and being a local show to us then, we have never missed a show since! and now continue to make the journey back from Cornwall.

Based in the grounds of Stanford Hall, the Volkswagen show ran by the Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW club is a pure enthusiasts show, if you want your NOS panels, auto jumble or the show and shine the show caters for everyone…and the real benefit is that’s it a VW show, not a music festival!

When is the show: Beginning of May, Bank Holiday Sunday

See you there

Samba gets its new coat of paint

As we hit February, we are working hard with Matt of Smiths of Cornwall to bring our joint project, a rare 1956 Samba back to life.

Work has started on the Spray work and the interior is underway, with the headlining booked and specialist upholstery coming from the US.

We are hoping to reveal the bus at this year Stanford Hall VW Show, a real enthusiasts show ran by true enthusiasts, the Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW Club.

The project was to restore the VW Splitscreen with the original specification at the forefront, down to the interior, colour and upholstery, even the stitching has to be spot on. Watch this space

The Samba will be up for sale following its renovation to original, call us for more details, POA. This will be a true show stopper where we have not spared any expense! What the samba needs the samba gets!

New Interior pics added

Hi Guys, well its nearly the end of January and as things start to move towards spring, we are already starting to get busy as people rush to get their vans ready for the summer.

We’ve added some new Gallery photos recently, Stuarts KI Westy in real wood veneer, Neil’s T25 and Catherines & Jasons Westfalia upgrade.

February is now fully booked, with March looking close to that, already clients are booking us for April, with some as far as August, so drop us an email to get your interior booked in, so you can be cruising to the shows and camping out in the Cornish sunshine!

Welcome to the 2011 VW season

Hi all, Happy new year to you all, thanks for bearing with us over the Xmas and New year period. Daron was off for a well earned snowboarding trip to Geneva, pleased to report no broken bones!

Not completely social though as Daron spent some time discussing custom designs with some of the snow boarders over there, so perhaps we will be adding Geneva and France to our growing list of interior locations!

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

Martin’s Splitscreen gets new Camper interior

Martin’s is currently renovating his splitscreen and in order to get some use out of it over the winter and spring of 2011, Martin wanted an interior that he could use while the bodyboard and mechanics are brought up to date.

martin wanted to utlise a rare old splitscreen cooker he had picked up and incorporate a rock and roll bed into a similar layout to the original devon camper interior, but with twists of his own and to a “non show” budget…
