Niagra blue and Atlas white?

No I don't think it was the original VW colours, I know that where we left the original paintwork inside there is a slight difference and the blue we chose for the inside trim didn't look quite as good as we were expecting on the basis that the 'sky blue' was slightly different to what we were expecting.

Still looks good though.

Actually I am looking to get a couple of scratches touched up, does anyone know a good bodywork shop in Manchester that they could recommend?

had a camper a few years back, quite a shock to the system, especially first time on a motorway. First services, moved everything possible to the front and it was a little bit more stable but not much.
20 mpg was normal on a run, less on short journeys.
Despite all the negatives, it was great to drive, just dont hit anything as your legs are the crumple zone.

Not og colours, Honestly. ;-)

I don't know any paint shops in M/C as I haven't lived there for a long time.

Go to VZI and ask the same question, loads of people from up your way with VW's on there.

Very few of these series 1 ones left on the road now, probably about 10-15. Mine was lucky to have had same owner between 1986-2006 so is completely original.

This guy is superb. He does full concours restos but doesn't take the piss with his prices. He knows his VW's too - do a Google search for Steve Kay VW and see some of his work and what people say about him.

I've got a SIII Landy. I have to give my wallet CPR every time I pull into a petrol station.
I'd like a TR3 some day.
