The people that bought the beetle are my parents and I assure all of you that they will take amazing care of the beetle! They’ve been looking after our ‘Doris’ a t2 that’s in mint condition after all the work my dad has put into it!

This is so awesome. So sad that you had to sell it, but at least you got to meet the new owner and hopefully will be able to stay in touch. The VolkWorld show looks awesome. Pretty sweet cars there. I have been seeing a few other videos from folks who went as well. Love seeing the slammed busses, they look so cool. I would never drop mine that low, so it's cool to see other people do it for me. jaaa😁

Mixed feelings for sure. Happy for your Mum and the new owners as I’m sure the sale will help her out and the new owners are getting a beautifully resuscitated oval with a rich history, but sad to see it leave the family. Well done you two. Hopefully you got some inspiration for the 356 as it’s time to crack on with that again!
