DESCRIPTION

 

 

 

 

OVERVIEW

 

 

Here we have our 1958 VW beetle show car. This is in absolutely stunning condition and is a multi-award winning car. It was originally a Swedish car but was taken off the road in 1994 until in 2005 it was found and imported into the UK to undertake a full restoration to a very high standard. We have all the photos of the restoration and how it got to the show car it is today.

 

 

 

 

BODYWORK & INTERIOR

 

 

The interior is done by Bernard Newbury which is a very well known brand in the VW community and this was one of his last projects before he retired. The paintwork was done by Paintbox in Essex and if you look them up you can see the standard of their work is amazing.
