Bengt Wallin - Stockholm Sweden317 viewsI have two "bigs" - Hellas Metallic that will be one (one will be scrapped after removing vital parts to the better one, the better one is on the picture). My plan is that the car will be restored during the coming winter period with help from a "specialist". I had a similar Big as a daily driver from 1976-1984 when I sold it, unfortunately it's now scrapped by later owners so this new project will remind me of the 70-ties when I was young.

276 viewsJVG342M update.

We purchased the car from Wooleys Garage in Hingham last October and are currently getting it ready for a respray. All the paint has been rubbed back to primer - there is a bit of rust but nothing that can't be put right. Hoping to have the car back on the road for the summer.

The aim is to get the car as original as possible. Will probably redo the interior as well - unfortunately the dashboard has a big crack in it -sun damage.

Kind regards

377 viewsHi. I came across your website completely by accident so i thought on the off chance that one of my old cars may be here. Low and behold it
is.
I have attached a photo of it from around 1984.
I hope the current owner is planning to restore it to its former glory as it was a most beautiful car.
I owned it for a couple of years but my father had it before me for about four years. He bought it from Cutlers of Streetly who were a
Leyland dealer at the time.
I replace it with a VW Golf my first venture into water cooled VW's. I had a couple of other Beetles since but i fear they have gone to the
car park in the sky, and are no longer with us.
I have probably got more photos somewhere if the current owner is interested.
Regards. Simon Langston
