  1. Business Recommendations
    I own a 1961 VW Beetle and use it on a regular basis, but it is now showing its age. I was wondering if anyone had any recommendations for places to get it restored? Ideally in the South West or Yorks area, but willing to go further afield. Many thanks Nick

    Introducing my 71 1200, 'Squash' The story: Manufactured in 1971, the 1200 bug went to its first owner somewhere near Manchester. The bug enjoyed 8 happy years cruising around town, clocking 55,000 miles until one day in '79...crash! The bug then sat in a garage feeling sorry for its self...

    WARNING: The following tale of shysters is true. And by true, I mean false. It's all lies. But they're entertaining lies, and in the end, isn't that the real truth? The answer...is no. So, I had my Bug trailered back from the mechanics from a Guy (he was literally called Guy). Very nice chap...

    This was my first car back in 2003, and I took it off the road due to not having enough money to get the required welding done to be put through MOT. So having put the beetle into the garage with the intention of one day restoring it, I have now started the resto project. Over the last few years...
