Im from Bangor in N Wales. Im more a petrol head than a total VW nut. I'm big into VW Scirocco's I own a Mint MK1 Strom + a very rare MK2 Cabriolet. I love all classic cars.
I was brought up with air cooled as a kid my dad having a New split screen van in 1963 then a new 65 combi. I can remember going to Spain in it when it was new I was aged 6, a big adventure in them days.
The one car that always sticks in my mind thought, was the 1973 VW 412LE Variant he had form new NJC775M. I seem was the reg. In recent years ive had an even bigger soft spot for them, I would love to find either i viable project car or a good unmolested example. I think the words coming to everyones mind from the last sentence, would be Hens teeth, rocking horse poo. etc etc!
Ive had a few aircooled VW's over the years. Type 3 Variant when i was about 20, It was just another cheap car for a skint young man in those days. That also suffered a similar problem to us Scirocco owners. That is rusty fuel filler necks causing water to get in the fuel tank
Ive had a couple of beetles and a type 2 camper.
Lots of non VW's too. Ive a soft spot for Land Rovers. I love large V8 engined cars
had a 5.7 L Vauxhall/Holden Monaro until last year.Ive seen over the last 3 years a nice green 412 Variant at Stonor Park. I expect it will be someone on this forum?
Anyway look foward to being able get a nice 412 sometime with some help from here
