| This gorgeous Porsche 356 speedster may have been a replica, but it certainly stood out at the Just Kampers open day. The attention to detail and the overall finish was amazing. |
 |
| The 356 body sits on top of a 1972 IRS chassis which is tax exempt. The lovely chocolate coloured paint is so well applied and looks fantastic. All the trim and accessories look 'just right' . |
 |
| The interior of the 356 has a simplistic beauty about it. |
 |
| The 356 speedster is such a beautiful car with flowing body lines as the picture shows. This really is an iconic shape that will never go out of fashion. |
 |
| This 356 has a 1600cc motor with twin carbs that has only covered 900 miles so far. The gold Porsche script badges suit the brown paint. It also has a very cool number plate. This lovely 356 replica was for sale for the very reasonable price of £19,995 ($26, 481 approx) |
 |
| A better look inside the 356. The wood steering wheel and Empi shifter along with the race style gauges look just about right. |
 |
| This very retro looking 1972 late bay looked great with it's striped pop top and side trim. The mesh screen visor was also another neat addition that suited the retro look of this bay. |
 |
| The side trim looks pure 1950's and I love it. I have no idea what it's off or maybe it's home made but it did look good. |
 |
| This super clean 1971 bay looked immaculate. It's a shame to see the owner felt the need to put the wheel clamp on his bus for the weekend but there are some nasty people around, and you can't be too careful with your pride and joy. |
 |
| I think this lovely clean bus was a U.S. import, although I could be wrong. I did like the colour matched bumpers that helped the clean look. |
 |
| This low 1967 beetle was super straight and finished to a very high standard. I had a '67 bug, although mine was no where as clean as this one. The chrome towel rail bumpers complimented the blue paint perfectly. |
 |
| This really was a nice clean bug. The white wheels with chrome hubcaps against the jet black tyres help to make this bug stand out. |
 |
| Buses parked up in the camping area at Just Kampers. I do like to see a standard height bus, I know the trend is to lower them, as mine is, but I think they look 'right' at the standard height. |
 |
| I did like this white over green 1964 splitty, that was parked up at the open day. I'm not sure what attracted me to this iconic bus, maybe it was the clean and straight body, or maybe it was the chrome radar wheels? |
 |
| I did like the 3 bow roof rack which suited the bus and must come in handy for all the camping accessories you need for a weekend away. |
 |
| Another bus that was riding at standard height, maybe the trend is changing from the lowered ride height back to standard height ride?. |
 |
| This lovely solid looking 1970 U.S. imported early bay looked cool. It looks like it still has the original paint, which is not that unusual for an imported bus. I do like those yellow headlight lenses and the chrome bumpers. |
 |
| This old bus had a few scrapes and knocks but every knock tells a story and it doesn't detract from the real beauty of this bay. |
 |
| I do like to see original stickers on imported buses and this bay had a lovely 'Mo's Bakery' sticker still on it's rear window. |
 |
| On the rear hatch this bay had one of these 'Hide a Tie' which I'm sure would be handy for something, someday. |
 |
| It's unusual to see the darker colour on the top of a two tone colour scheme, but the black over grey paint on this lovely 1975 late bay proves it works really well. |
 |
| The Empi 5 spoke wheels are a favourite choice of wheels for Volkswagen owners, and it's easy to see why as they look so good. This was another very clean and straight bus. |
 |
| This white over olive green 1978 Dormobile looked good with it's matching olive and white roof canvas. This was another very clean and straight bus that attended the open day. |
 |
| This 1974 white over pastel yellow Devon bay looked great. It's colour scheme made this bay look so smooth and sleek. The BRM wheels (I think) and the chrome headlight peaks were nice additions as were the clear indicator lenses. |
 |
| A very nice looking 1970 imported early bay. Again yet another bus at standard height, this white over deep red bus looked super straight. |
 |
| You can see how straight this bay is from the reflection along the side of the bus. The all red rear light lenses blended in with the body colour perfectly. |
 |
| Another clean and straight bus was this 1970 white over baby blue early bay. It looked as though the owners were still asleep so I quietly crept around taking these photos, well it was still quite early in the morning. |
 |
| This really was a nice clean bay, I did like that big silencer tucked up under the rear bumper. |
 |
| This 1969 white over pastel yellow early bay panel van has featured several times before on my blog, but that's OK, as it looks so cool. |
 |
| I do like panel vans, and when they are painted in my favourite colour, yellow, well that's even better. This is one cool van. |
 |
| Arrive at the Just Kampers open day, set up the awning and relax. This really was a chilled out weekend. |
 |
| A lovely T25 Karmann Gipsy. These Gipsy's are quite rare as Karmann only made 778 Gipsy's on the T25 chassis, and there are only 287 still known to have survived according to the Karmann register. |
 |
| I'm not sure if this one is registered or not, but I hope so. This was a really clean example with numerous 'extra's' including roof box and bike rack. I'd really like one of these... |
 |
| Another photo looking into the camping area at Just Kampers open day. From all the reviews I have heard about the camping I think it was a very chilled out weekend. |
 |
| This 1975 beetle certainly stood out amongst the hundreds of Volkswagen's at the open day with it's super bright yellow paint. |
 |
| This bug was so clean and had some neat accessories including the twin spot lights on the chrome bumper, the chrome headlight peaks, the fun taxi sign on the roof and the screen visor. |
 |
| This bug actually sat quite low which added to it's cool look. You can see from this photo just how clean this bug was. |
 |
| This 1978 turquoise and white late bay was another extremely clean bus. Again riding at stock height and with colour coded Empi 5 spoke wheels this bus stood out. |
 |
| A lovely straight bus in a lovely colour, what else do you need? |
 |
| Another late bay to finish off this weeks blog review, this time it's a white over bright orange 1972 bay, with contrasting red painted steel wheels with white wall tryes. |
 |
| A lovely straight bus that looked so solid with a lovely two tone colour scheme. So that was my second instalment of my blog review about the Just Kampers open day 2016. If you missed part one, you can find in 'My Blog Archive' at the top left of this page. Part three of my review will be next Saturday, where you can see plenty more air-cooled rides. |
