1966 VW Splitscreen Double cab

This glorious double cab was restored to be a matching pair with Paul Hunter’s ‘Black Jack’ Beetle using the same red and black, and matching red interior. This build had the added twist of having some rather extreme modifications including wishbone front and rear suspension, 4 pot calipers and disc brakes all round, 2.3 litre, 160 bhp engine and an incredible level of detail. One of our favourite builds to date

1973 VW Baywindow

A very subtle but oh-so-classy Bay we restored the body of for a good friend. The shell itself was imported from Arizona and was one of the best shells we have come across. It needed very little rust repair and a small amount of accident damage repair. The shell was then painted in its original white, and the pin stripes redone to replicate what its first created in the 70’s. Classic, Custom and Retro then did a fantastic job of giving it a splash of colour in the interior. For those eagle eyed among you, you’ll notice the original square bumpers have been ditched for an early rear bumper and Brazilian front bumper giving a much cleaner look.
