WOW, or Winter on Wheels in full, was fun again.
We drove 6 split window buses out and gathered with all of our petrolhead friends for gas talk and coffee…
It was the Christmass edition, several cars and bikes dressed up for the occasion!
One tractor, but a cool one…
Abarth anyone?
Face mask duty everywhere, also outside, Corona rules been enforced strictly!
Tall car or small guy?
Give me wings and I can fly…
Nice line up of our favorites…
Bizar …. and there was two…:)
Despite the grey, drizzling and overcast weather a lot of full classics showed up… always nice to see, not so to fuel up….
Sleek lines, Andre Citroen knew how to draw cars…
Early oval ragtop… Standard!
Always cool to check out, and pick your choice, ragtop… or three spoke steeringwheel, in this case… both….
Where’s the goldfish swimming?
Not here…
and here neither….
Don’t miss out the next edition, every third sunday of the month, from October till March

For this last BBT news of the year we might get the word out of the most important fact of the year that Arlette will leave BBT after 34 years being responsible for accountancy and the complete financial side of the company.
That’s right after Arlette healed pretty well from her illness she decided she wanted to explore a life without BBT.
Bob will be sole owner and manager of BBT from Jan 1st. 2022.
Of course Arlette and Bob did the split up in the most easy way and split up as friends.
BBT News will continue to bring you most important news, inside or outside our company.
We like to thank you for following us and prepare for a new and exciting new year!
Stay tuned and enjoy.
Standard beetles came with their own very small version of headliner.
These headliners have been made exactly as original in plain vinyl, not perforated.
Standard headliners cover only the central part of the roof.
The B-pillars and part around the rear window are not covered but painted in the outside body color.
Our Standard headliners are proudly made in Europe.
We supply two lengths; up to 1971 use 138cm and 1972 and later models use 135cm.
This has to see with the enlargement of the rear window for the 1972 model year
We used to sell these under shop no. W544-2901B and W544-2900B, but made them now full worthy BBT partnumbers out of popular demand.
2903-100 Headliner (Standard) – Beetle -08/71 white (138cm)
2903-110 Headliner (Standaard) – beetle 08/71- white (135cm)
We enlarged our door lock line last week with the left side door lock for beetles 1967 and later.
The right side is not completely finished yet, but will join soon!
These door locks fit all beetles 1968 and later except doors in convertible beetles for the 1971 till 1973 model years.
Made in a really good quality we’re happy we have a decent door lock to offer for the late Beetle now.
