Started taking Pics of Type 4's way back in 1994, where are these now?

More later,


Danny

How depressing. Not a single one of them is on the road any more. A few are SORNed, which means they're in a garage somewhere. Most are unlicensed, which means they're dead. Here's what the DVLA has to say:

The survival rate for Type 4's is appalling! I doubt that there are more than 50 left in total in the UK.

Spotted this one at a car breakers in Hawkhurst, Kent back in May 2002

This pic taken at a car museum where we had the AGM in 2002
cant remember where it was though, it was where they had the replica of the Ship "Endevour"

These taken at Jane and Brian's back in the late '90's...

i think im gonna cry. someone needs to go find some of these cars. look in every garage barn shed and yard

going through all the pictures it is sad that most of them will have been scrapped years ago, but it is good that you have taken the time and taken pictures of them, one bit of good news is that the orange 2 door 411 coupe is still on the road with me in sunny scotland? that is the car with the number BKO 907K ( I ALSO HAVE A RED ONE WHICH IS PSX 83K ) and hopefully it will be back on the road sometime as well, cheers for now cliff.

This 411 will be at European Bug-in this summer

hi, i now own pco 131k (the white one with porsche alloys on)... was on its death bed but not far now from its mot!! woooooooop lol[/img]

The turqoise 2 door 412, ANO 813L is the same car as VIW 412 and is about to undergo a complete respray in it's original colour. It's now on Beetle GT wheels and will hopefully be at a few shows next year.

Stephen

The white variant fdg 393l is now sat on my drive i picked it up the begining of the month . going for mot next week . back on the road first time in 4 years . . can you give me any idea when and where you took the pictures ?
cheers gavin

Pic was taken at Bug/Dub freeze, not sure which year, I'll dig the pic out later and look at the date on the back, at a guess tho Id say late '90's


Danny.

PCO 131K is on the road and used daily. It is still white. I notice that it has chrome bumpers in the picture whereas mine were sprayed white when I bought it. Any idea where/when you took the picture Danny?

Cheers
Kieron

..i also owned THIS car in its Teledial/leather interior stage; i won it on ebay for @ £450 & sold it less than a year later for the same pric eto a couple who wanted to DRAG RACE it! ..it was pretty damn rotten but looked great with those wheels AND the roof bars..

SXA966K 411 is sat in my garage looking VERY sorry for herself!!.. looks like its going to be a engine donor ....so if anyone wants some parts or EVEN better... give me 100 quid and RESTORE her to her former glory that would be fantastic as i just cant bring myself to break her up

need the engine as thats going into FDG393L 412 auto which i hope is gonna be landing on my drive next week

Really looking forward to having a estate.. auto .. and its still a v dub

pitty its not an estate as if i dont do anything else in this life i'm going to have one of those estates! i've just restored a type3 square but i really want a type4.......nice lot of pics danny.
