| OK, I'm going to make a bold statement, this is probably the best paint scheme I have ever seen on any bus. Gloss green over Matt grey, simply stunning. The deluxe trim, headlight grills, twin roof racks and spot lights just add to the overall look. |
 |
| From the rear it's equally as nice with a clean and detailed engine, colour coded bumpers and polished vent trim. This bus really is close to perfection. |
 |
| This late split screen in white over lime green was another nice looking bus. I love those Fuchs wheels. |
 |
| Parked up together are this very bright orange bug and a very low US import early bay. Both are of 1971 vintage. |
 |
| This very low mid grey early beetle was sheer class, such a lovely looking car. I do like the Porsche headlight grills, and the single spot light on the bumper, and of course the roof rack full of period accessories. |
 |
| This 1968 crew cab pick up looked good as it drove past, a bit RAT looking but that's how pick ups should look, after all they are the work horse of the VW family. |
 |
| A stunning example of an early split screen, finished in grey over beige. Twin roof racks, twin spot lights, deluxe trim and super shiny wheels really make this bus stand out. |
 |
| A 1964 turquoise and white split screen next to a 1969 blue and white bay window with pop top. |
 |
| An early bay single cab pick up finished in a single colour of green, topped with black wheels and rear cover. No fancy chrome bits on this bay, but then it doesn't need it. |
 |
| A pair of split screens both with the US style front bumpers with 'towel rail'. I like the way the early silver and white split has mounted his spot lights on the 'towel rail' |
 |
| This early crew cab split screen pick up looked good in it's natural state. The owner can see exactly what needs to be done. |
 |
| Probably a 'work in progress' project but it's certainly a good starting point. |
 |
| Maybe the crew cab will look like this gorgeous single cab pick up one day. I liked the cover for the bed, and the roof rack ladder. Having a single spot light on the 'A' post must have been the 'in' thing this year as I saw quite a few splitty's with them. |
 |
| This owner was proudly showing off their BBT sticker. It's a souvenir from the BBT cruise in Belgium from Nijverheidsstraat to Hessisch Oldendorf. The entrants also received a metal bumper badge with the same cool looking design. |
 |
| The colour of this early Karmann Ghia may not be to everyone's taste, but the car certainly is. Such a beautifully styled car with classic lines. |
 |
| A nice looking 1965 pastel yellow beetle next to a red and black single cab split screen pick up. |
 |
| A gorgeous white and cream deluxe split screen, named 'Wilma'. Plenty of bling on this bus including chrome bumpers and lovely looking wheels. |
 |
| Another crew cab pick up in full RAT guise. This crossover bay had the full cover for the pick up bed and with it's tired paint it looked great. |
 |
| I do like buses with an accessory overload. This early split screen had so much going on with the flames and chequered paint it really did look good. The mesh visor is a neat touch. |
 |
| The theme continued on the inside, virtually every surface was covered in VW related pictures and even more chequered paint. |
 |
| I did like the roof of this bright orange splitty, It was painted in a flower designs in bright colours, that strangely complimented the single colour body perfectly. |
 |
| A very low single cab pick up with a narrowed front beam. The sides of the bed have been removed to create a flat bed, that just looked so nice. |
 |
| I did like this 'sand' coloured split screen. the only chrome bits on this bus were the door handles, everything else was painted, even the headlight rims were painted black but it really stood out from the others around it. |
 |
| An immaculate 1967 US imported bay window finished in grey with a white top. An aftermarket narrowed front beam that has also been lowered looks so nice. |
 |
| Unusual colour choice on this 1970 early bay. This looks so sleek in it's single colour, only broken up by the polished deluxe trim. |
 |
| How about this for a paint job. Gloss black shows every ripple, dent and defect in the body work of a vehicle but looking at this early Ghia, it looked super straight. I loved that roof rack which is so stylish. |
 |
| This 1971 pastel blue Karmann was parked up and looked a good honest car. Not a show winner, but still very desirable. |
 |
| Dave and Angela and their Daughter Louise, came along to the show. Dave has been coming to the Breeze for 16 years and always in his 'Red Nose' beetle. Louise came along in her beige bug with chequered front. |
 |
| A good show of bay windows as usual. Even though there are so many of each model every one is different in some way. |
 |
| All the campers and buses are all individual and each one has it's own character. This 1977 late bay was into flower power with matching pop top canvas. |
 |
| A lovely looking white over red split screen. I do like the wheels on this bus, chrome steels with hub caps and white wall tyres which really suit the clean look of this bus. |
 |
| This 1967 pastel blue beetle looked clean and straight, and those contrasting red painted wheels suit the look completely. |
 |
| There isn't any category parking so it's just pure luck all these beetles parked up next to each other. |
 |
| Looking East along Maderia Drive and it's wall to wall VW's of every model, colour and condition. |
 |
| Looking West along Maderia Drive. To give you an idea how big the line is, the VW's are parked all the way to virtually the Pier in the distance. |
 |
| There is always such a variety of VW's at the Breeze. What ever your into, you will find it here on Maderia Drive. |
 |
| An orange beetle, a white T4 and a blue and white bay, from a different angle. |
 |
| How many of you have seen a Karmann Ghia from this angle? This sliver blue 1968 model looked just so nice from above. |
 |
| A nice array of bay windows parked up in Brighton, about as close to the beach as is possible. Behind the line up is beach volley ball court, then the English Channel. (final part of the Breeze to follow shortly) |
