A big helping of ,je ne sais quoi!

Well I'm also in the VWW camp, and this was a rather nice example and not too much over the red saloon at £9995.

If you're serious, then perhaps contact Peter Ragg, he does the 120 section in the VOC magazine, and seemed to me that he might have a sideline doing a number of restorations that he puts through ACA as he mentions one he sold recently at £13k in the issue that dropped through my door this week.

Do a deal privately and buyer/seller get better deal without having to pay buyers/sellers commission.

Obviously don't know if he has a VWW in the pipeline though.

It’s a pretty thing , no question but it would need to be under cover, a peach like that.

You would really have to keep any Amazon under cover Andrew, the glass, rubber and metal just aren’t as good as modern cars (or even 240s). Leaving one out in the open would be asking for trouble.

That VWW is a shed full better than the eBay one at 10 grand.

VWW, you’ve started something! Love it . I’ve always described all mine as a 5 door 5 seater van!😆
