I know of this car for about two years now, one owner till 2010!
The weird thing is that it just lived like 2km from BBT and I never knew about!
All original, 62.000 original km, perfect driving, ready for the road… and for being a Belgian survivor one of the better body’s I’ve ever seen, not polished or detailed since 1992!
A unique change to buy a unique part of Belgian automotive patrimony!
BBT Convoy’s are never being organized without a support team and this edition the support team existed out of 5 persons. Pascal was doing co-ordination and analyzes while BBT ‘s in house mechanic Koen was our main mechanic in the team. Koen gained a lot of experience during the years…
One of our drivers, Gonzo and friend of the house Dirk, were the “sweepers” to pick-up what Koen & Hans couldn’t get fired-up again… Lucky enough there wasn’t much to pick up.
We’ve also experienced that many of the participants are well familiar with their ride and they know very well how to solve problems on their own. Once again a prove that most Classic VW drivers own their car with a lot of passion!!!
A list of what went wrong? Broken throttle cable, faulty alternator pulley, worn out brake drum, wheel bolts lost, broken spark plugs, low level gearbox oil… In fact, nothing serious what proves once again that our Vintage VW’s are still more than drivable after an age of more than, in some cases, 60 years since production.
