This weekend I picked up my latest toy…
As far as we could find out from registry’s etc this should be the oldest known surviving Belgian delivered barndoor, fabricated in Wolfsburg on January 10 1951!
This bus resided in Belgium till 1968 and went from there with its second owner to Greece…. in 1997 the bus was located by a French guy and moved back to France, from there to UK and now back to Belgium…. amazing story uh?
The last Belgian license plate was even included with the bus! After all those years!….
UK is always nice and gives always cool scenery to photograph an old VW!
Happy the old heap is home now…. Thanks to Ben (a lot!) to selling this to me…. on the way up there we passed Stonehenge, Unesco world heritage, cool to see from the motorway!
This special beetle garage is a dream for many of us, a slightly different model as ours, but ubercool presented and shown here with a 1950 Karmann Convertible!
Rare stuff bro’ !!
Because of more and more busses coming in from the USA the bigger 091 transmission (for the bus with Type 4 engines 1975 and up) are driving around on the old continent. Therefore, demand for these transmission parts raised a lot the last couple of years…We’ve now added the synchronize rings for these transmissions in our ever-growing stock assortment… Replace yours when that transmission is open anyway, they’re fairly inexpensive!
1493-012 Synchronize ring 1st gear – Bus (091) 08/75-09/82
1493-013 Synchronize ring 2, 3 & 4th gear – Bus (091+094) 08/75-07/92
Locks and latches get used a lot on cars, so they break or ware out easily. Mainly from overuse!
We added this rear hatch locking mechanism now to our large assortment of locks, this particular one will fit your bus from 1972 model all the way up till the end of the bay window production…

Later beetles came with a silver ring around the speedo in your dashboard, but bone stock oval window and early sixties had this ring in chrome, light years ago we started to distribute these chrome ring because it’s so much nicer in your car… They were temporarily unavailable but are now back in stock!
