This is possibly the cleanest Type 25 we have ever

This is possibly the cleanest Type 25 we have ever seen, and most definitely one of the coolest. 😎👌

We always receive great pleasure from getting the opportunity to work on some incredible Volkswagens, such as Luke’s T25. For several years, we have been entrusted with the maintenance of Luke’s vehicles. This year, we successfully addressed a number of oil leaks, including one resulting from a makeshift repair that was a surprising discovery to us all. All issues have been resolved, and this T25 is now leak-free and ready for more adventures. 🙌

Thanks again Luke! 🤝

Throwing it back to an evening with Johnny Vegas at the Great Northern Classics Derby. 🎤💬

He spoke about his most recent glamping project with Roger Lowe, and various life challenges. We also assisted with the sourcing of our client's Split Screen, belonging to Adey, which took centre stage for the evening! 😎

Mark will have no problem transporting his Christmas presents this year… 😉

We loved this MK1 Caddy with a 20-valve turbo. At the beginning of summer we carried out an inspection, followed by several tasks including a comprehensive service with the installation of a new timing belt and water pump. We also replaced the master cylinder and the customer opted for a lovely Wilwood Midilite caliper upgrade. All brake lines were replaced with kunifer (copper-nickel) replacements and stainless steel flexis that we created. Additionally, we installed the recently retrimmed Escort RS Turbo Recaro seats. 🙌

Thanks again Mark, what an awesome little motor. 💜

The 9th December is for this uncommon variant of the Volkswagen Split Screen, a twin barn door example which started its life in Sweden accommodating up to 9 occupants. 😎

It’s the 1st of December, and we’re kicking off the festive season by reflecting on some of our customers’ pride and joys, but with a festive twist! 🎄🎁🎅❄️

As it’s the first day of the month, there’s no better way to start than with a Type 1. Here, we present Bhavnit’s stunning 1953 oval-window Volkswagen Beetle, which visited us earlier this year for a post-purchase inspection. 🕵️‍♂️

We commenced by thoroughly examining all the mechanical components and performing a complete service. Additionally, we installed new LED brake lights and put it through an MOT test which it passed successfully. 🙌

Thanks for your support Bhavnit! 🤝

We brokered the sale of this original 1965 Volkswagen Split Screen SO42, which sold before we even got around to advertising it. 😁

We received great enthusiasm from seeing vintage Volkswagens representing their originality, just like this uncommon SO42 Split Screen finished in the desirable beige grey over sealing wax red paintwork, originally delivered to Austria. 🇦🇹

The SO42 Split Screen model is iconic for its pop-top turret roof and the five louvered windows that replace the original solid or pop-out windows typically found in an 11-window Split Screen. Inside, it features Westfalia interior furnishings, comprising ample storage, seating for up to four people around a table, and a rear bench that converts into a rock ’n’ roll bed.

Here we have a super cool aired-out Transporter T6 LWB converted camper, owned by Mark at @avitmediaofficial. 😎

We carried out the installation of a new cambelt and performed an engine service. Since it was newly purchased by Mark, we also inspected the vehicle to ensure everything is in tip-top condition. 👌

A Volkswagen Split Screen from Sweden with twin cargo doors… what’s not to love? 🤩

This stunning 1966 Split Screen came in for a number of jobs, including the installation of the Wilwood brake caliper and disc upgrade kit. 👌 Not only that, but we also installed new cargo door latch plates to prevent the doors from rattling, fitted a new carburettor, and carried out a thorough engine service. ⚙️
