As if by magic, the MOT inspector appeared.......

Ok, I know, not many updates since purchase.


But, good news - four months from arriving and Bertie is back on the road.


Here I am at my local MOT station


Lots of work to be done still, including a complete overhaul of the brakes, but one more classic rescued !
More soon, I promise,
Jim

A new project


With the sale of Nena the Nova (http://jimsvwnovarestoration.blogspot.com/) behind me, something had to fill the gap.





Meet Bertie



This is Bertie arriving at his new home !

Bertie has been in storage for 12 years, and is a very original Bugle Beach Buggy.

A sympathetic restoration will follow soon, though I am keen to retain the original charm the car has,

Watch this space.............................................
