Hi Everyone
I am as bemused as everyone else at the price Barclay is asking for this car. I saw him, and the car, in May, as he was clearing Status VW (sadly), following the sale to JustKampers, and he told me was going to ask £40k, quite a markup on the price I sold it to him for in April 1999 (Brian Screaton never owned this one, Richard, although we did jointly own several others in the early 1990s).
And yes, it is a very youthful me in that video, which I knew nothing about until a contact in Canada told me he'd seen me on television (many years ago now). I'd only brought the car in a couple of days previously (August 1991), having flown to Germany with about four grand in German marks and driven it back. Those were the days, when anywhere 'abroad' seemed like an adventure ...
I've only just got back into old VWs, having just retired, after a long absence - and how it's changed. Here's a picture of the split I bought earlier this year, now just back on the road after a re-commission. Will probably be at Stanford Hall next year.
Enough rambling, creeping senility.
