| Matthew's 1969 SO42 blue and white westfalia parked next to my velvet green and white 1969 microbus under the Wolfsburg Bus Crew banner. |
 |
| I'm not saying the Slough is a rough place, but this family hatchback was left in the leisure centre car park overnight.!!! |
 |
| Clear blue skies and sunshine (albeit very cold) and a car park crammed full of Volkswagens finest air-cooled vehicles. |
 |
| This ratty Ford Prefect 100E had been slammed on the deck, the original 1172cc front mounted side valve engine had been removed and an air- cooled motor mounted in the back. |
 |
| A great diversity of vehicles in the car park. |
 |
| I don't know much about the Austin Allegro, but I'm assuming because it was parked close to that Ford 100E (above) that this has had an air- cooled transplant. |
 |
| The Allegro had been hit with the lowering stick, and that huge exhaust strengthens my thought about having an air-cooled engine. |
 |
| The leisure centre was full of quality Volkswagens of all descriptions. |
 |
| It doesn't always have to painted and shiny to be desirable. |
 |
| A cool Moon decal on these centre caps. |
 |
| This gorgeous 1950's dark green Karmann Ghia was immaculate. I do like these KG's especially when they are this clean. |
 |
| You can see just how clean and straight this old Karmann really is from this photo. |
 |
| To show just how clean and straight this car was, this is the reflection from the gorgeous green paint on the engine lid. |
 |
| A lovely 1964 Karmann Ghia and a 1967 beetle parked up in the sunshine at the swapmeet. |
 |
| I did like the overall look of this old '67, the all white body colour against all that chrome looked fantastic. |
 |
| Buses of all types and ride heights all parked up at the swapmeet. There really was a great diversity of air-cooled vehicles. |
 |
| This lovely 1970 early bay panel van caught my eye. I loved the colour, which looked very similar to the colour of my bus, and the ride height and not to mention that awesome full length roof rack. |
 |
| Just look at the reflection on the sides of this lovely van, it really was perfectly straight. |
 |
| Another vehicle that caught my eye was this lovely 1973 single cab pick up. This was another vehicle that was incredibly straight and clean. |
 |
| This really was a lovely example of this utility vehicle. |
 |
| The Slough swapmeet car park with awsome air-cooled Volkswagens everywhere. |
 |
| Rows and rows of Volkswagen buses, what a great way to spend a sunny Sunday in November. |
 |
| This gorgeous 1970 imported deluxe bus was really nice. It really was so clean and straight. |
 |
| I spotted this bright green 1986 T25 panel van and just had to go and have a look. I do like the high riding stance and the all terrain tyres. |
 |
| I'm really getting into the high riding go anywhere overland look and this old transporter van looked just right. I did like that huge off road wheel / tyre on the back. |
 |
| Split screen buses galore adorned the leisure centre car park. |
 |
| One of those buses was this 1972 Brazilian bus that was originally purchased by Maney's grandad. It has a 1641cc engine, and adjustable front beam, a rear IRS and a beetle gearbox. Maney still has the 'Run the Ring' tickers on his doors. |
 |
| This lovely patina'd 21 window looked good with it's original faded paint, lowered stance and that narrowed front beam. |
 |
| Another bus with plenty of patina was this lovely white over blue 11 window. I liked the rusty front bumper that almost looked as though it was made from wood. |
 |
| Here is a bus I recognised, it's Claude's 1960 Californian Kombi. |
 |
| A great variety of air cooled vehicles on display in the leisure centre car park that doubles as the Slough Swapmeet. |
 |
| A lovely 1964 RAT look bus that had so many accessories, additions and stickers. I did like the old rope tied around the towel rail bumper. |
 |
| You can make your own cation for this photo..! |
 |
| Even in Slough on a cold winters day you still have to cruise around and look cool. |
 |
| This bright orange late bay looked nice and solid. I'm not sure what that is on the rear side panel..? |
 |
| A lovely reflection of the green 1986 T25 I liked so much in the chrome bumper of a classic air cooled vehicle (I've actually forgotten what the vehicle was !) |
 |
| This lovely original 1950's oval window beetle looked great with it's patina that covered the whole of the body. |
 |
| This really was a lovely looking bug. I loved the original wheel trims and white wall tyres. |
 |
| Another high T25 transporter van, I love those big off road wheels and tyres. This 1985 van really did look as though it could go anywhere. |
 |
| This immaculate bright yellow and white 1967 11 window shone in the bright winter sun.This bus really was straight and clean. |
 |
| Two yellow and white buses stand out against the clear blue winter sky. |
 |
| Early bay window buses, which would you have? The 1972 beige bay belongs to a mate of mine called Matthew. |
 |
| Another 1972 VDub was this lovely all white bug names, Gloria. I don't know much about this nice bug except for that's it's very clean. The whitewall tyres suited the overall look. |
 |
| This lovely type 34 Karmann Ghia looked great, These are more commonly know as the Razor- edge and at the time was the most expensive car made by Volkswagen. |
 |
| The razoredge has such a beautiful body shape that is timeless. The type 34 was produced from 1962 - 1969 and it is believed that only about 1500 - 2000 of the original 43,000 produced still remain. |
 |
| This gorgeous 1950's Karman Ghia was so nice, I loved the colour, the colour coded wheels with the white wall tyres, the ride height.. everything really. |
 |
| I especially liked the air scoop on the engine lid, which could mean only one thing, a rare Judson supercharger. |
 |
| And to confirm my suspicion, this lovely old KG had an original badge on the deck lid. |
 |
| This stunning oval window looked great in its all black colour scheme. I did like those yellow head lights and the single spot light that just make this car stand out. |
 |
| This 1963 oval was incredibly straight as you can clearly see. I've seen this car several times and it still grabs my attention every time I see it. So that the second of three installments about this great ond day show. Next weeks blog review will be the 3rd part where you can see plenty more bugs and buses plus some type 3's and a lovely Type 14A Hebmuller plus so much more so be sure to come back next Saturday. |
