We got two new cars in for sale last week… both needs finishing, but as we’re already over booked we make a “special take away” price… for those who like to save and finish them selves….

a beautiful March 1963 Build type 3 Notchback and a good looking 1956 oval window ….

first about the wonderful Type 3…. being build March 1963 means this is a very early “push button” model…. need finishing, but is more then ok to do so, and some small works would bring you close to the finish here!  Interior to die for, where You gonna fine another one???? the rear seat has some damage but repairable for sure….. “Television button” style dashboard, one of the coolest things VW ever made!  Don’t we all love original headliners in mint condition? Eberspächer gasheater equipped, still all original since new in a ” better then the average” front trunk…. Original 1500 engine still on board! running and driving, but needs a full service for sure….

Second we have a stunning looking oval window…. so sad they did a poor paint job, so we feel we had to “rescue” this baby

The best looking beetle ever…. the oval window…. now how cute is this, like a candy, are You ready to bite?

TMI upholstery replaced the worn out original, but it is good looking, isn’t it?

All original headliner still in place, a good clean up would do wonders….

Rock solid in the spare wheel well…. Nice 30DIN Hp (36SAE)  engine still in the backBecause of the poor paint job we can offer this car at a real interesting price, or shall we call CHEAP????

If we catched your interest in one of these two beauty’s we would be love to give you more detail or reply to any questions … we do ship worldwide and doing so for the last 25 years… plenty of references to share…. for all further information do not hesitate to contact me on Bob@bbt4vw.com

My son Nicolas had his Communion last Sunday, (seems to be translated sometimes as Confirmation as well….)

Communion is a pretty big thing for a  12 year old, so he had the right to go all over cars and choose “his” ride to church .. he choose for the latest addition to our collection, the magnificent Oct 1962 Rubin red Type 34 Ghia with only 18.000 original miles since new….

doesn’t he look a real big boy now, sjeez he’s growing so fast!

Congratulations Nicolas, let’s be your communion be the start of your real life, where You must show a certain discipline in decisions You have to take, as the priest said…

Last Thursday, my personal friend, mentor, inspiration, friend of my family and before all a VW genius who developed probably more parts then anyone lost his totally unfair battle against cancer and left to the holey VW hunting grounds forever….

Lyle Cherry is no longer… the support and inspiration I had from this man in the last year was overwhelming enormous …..

an incredible sad loss to the VW community, as Lyle might have developed maybe more parts as any one else… because VW engines and transmissions was simply his passion…. still wanted to come to European Bug in, the Gods decided differently and called him home, in VW heaven.

Lyle with his first lath, he bought this in 1964 when he started to work VW engines after hours, and towed it home behind his beetle, believe it or not….

Yours truly with Lyle on one of my last visits… together with mutual friend, connector and moderator Rick Sadler from Bug pack fame….

For sure You will be missed hard Lyle, you’re knowledge was second to none… I was so fortunate to know You, I will never forget… thanks for teaching me that much, and so sorry i couldn’t take more, You’re knowledge was overwhelming and your story’s better then anything…

a real true VW fellow, will be missed forever!

If You want to show respect to Lyle make sure to visit the Lyle Cherry tribute stand @ European Bug In this year, incorparated in the BBT boot, we will have one of his most famous race cars on display and some weird parts along…..
