| This stunning Type 14A Hebmuller cabriolet was totally immaculate. To be honest I haven't seen enough of these cars to tell if it was an original Heb or not, but I have no reason to believe it wasn't, It certainly looked original. The Hebmuller was produced from 1949 - 1953. |
 |
| The Hebmuller was originally designed as a 2 seater sports car for Charles Radcliffye, a colonel in the British army who was running Volkswagen after the second world war ended. |
 |
| The Type 14A , was mechanically the same as the Beetle saloon. The front of the Heb looks virtually the same as a beetle, however.. |
 |
| The Heb differed to the beetle by having the deck lid and trunk lid of similar size and shape. This really is a beautiful looking car. After only 4 years, production ended due to a fire in the factory's paint department. A total of only 696 Hebmullers were made including 3 prototypes. |
 |
| Not a very good photo of the interior and dash board but it certainly looks original to me. This had to be the rarest car in the Slough Swapmeet car park? |
 |
| This army green coloured 1971 early bay double cab pick up looked cool. I did like the roof rack that fitted over the double cab and the steel sun visor. The colour coded bumpers gave this bay the authentic military look. |
 |
| I did like the pick up bed cover which I think suits a pick up so well. This really was a nice solid looking pick up. |
 |
| On the tail gate of the double cab I spotted this cool badge, 'Tankspotter'. I don't know if it's an original item or whether someone has made it, but it did suit the overall look of the vehicle. |
 |
| This lovely old split oval window bug looked great with it's real patina paint. This very stock looking beetle certainly received plenty of admiring looks for everyone who saw it. |
 |
| There is always a fantastic assortment of air- cooled vehicles that attend the Slough Swapmeet. |
 |
| A gorgeous early split screen parked next to a lovely old Karmann Ghia. The quality of the vehicles in the car park was amazing, it was just like a show and shine display. |
 |
| Talking of quality, how about the double cab split screen. Finished in some hue of beige with a white roof this old pick up looked stunning. |
 |
| This pick ups looks are enhanced by it being lowered and possibly by having a narrow front beam. This old crew cab really was in immaculate condition. |
 |
| This 1989 T25 was another vehicle painted in army green and looked cool. I did like the decal across the front which says 'Zombie virus response unit', you never know when you may need this bus! |
 |
| This super straight 1967 Karmann Ghia looked amazing with it's flawless gloss black paint. The chrome towel rail bumpers and the white painted steel wheels add just enough contrast to the black paint to help this old KG stand out. |
 |
| This immaculate 1966 beetle looked amazing with it's dark green paint over super straight body panels. You can see just how straight this old bug is by the reflection in the rear quarter panel and door. |
 |
| This really is a gorgeous looking car. The paint is so shiny it looks as though it's still wet. The chrome bumpers compliment the green colour perfectly. |
 |
| A close up of the wheels on this gorgeous bug, The spun alloy centre pieces were as work of art and those lovely Firestone Wide Oval tyres filled the rear arches perfectly. |
 |
| A trio of Porsche 356's parked up at the Slough Swapmeet. I'm not sure if these guy's arrived together or not, but one minute they weren't there then all of a sudden all 3 were parked up! |
 |
| A silver early Karmann Ghia and a 1971 pastel yellow beetle parked up at the leisure centre. |
 |
| A better photo of the trio of Porsche 356's parked up at the Slough Swapmeet. These gorgeous cars were produced from 1948 - 1965 and were available in a 2 door coupe, 2 door convertible or a 2 door roadster. |
 |
| A beautiful 1970 beetle finished in a gorgeous blue colour with contrasting wing piping. The all red rear tail light lenses and those Radar wheels helped to make this old bug stand out. |
 |
| This lovely grey 1964 beetle has featured on my blog several times before as I normally see it at The Ace Cafe, London and it's easy to see why I keep taking pictures of it, this really is a lovely looking beetle. |
 |
| A very colourful display of spilt screen and bay window buses at the Slough Swapmeet. |
 |
| A lovely blue sky on a Sunday morning with a car park full of classic Volkswagen's of all years and varieties, what could be better? So that was part 2 of 3 on the Slough Swapmeet. Next weeks blog is the 3rd and final installment where you can see more bugs and buses and a couple of Karmann Ghia's so make sure you come back next Saturday. |
