CARS

Fighting Bug
One of the best detailed quarter milers ever built in Europe, built in Italy to be exact.

The backdated Square
It took Steve seven years to complete the car, with no stone left unturned he made his youngster look like the older model.

Hollywood Vert
Finished in 2021, this ’50 Kabriolett might become a benchmark for restorations within the Volkswagen community.

Baja 1303 Beetle
This “Tamiya Sand Scorcher” lookalike appears as tough as nails. Equipped with a water-cooled engine, it maintains the 1303 Baja look.

The Sweetest T2a
It may appear fairly original at first sight, but this ’70 Bus has a perfect fit and finish, along with sharp technological choices and upgrades.
