We thought you might be interested in having a look at 'Bogart', our 1970 original Devon Eurovette Early Bay, and 'Thurman', our 1961 LHD Karmann Ghia.
We bought our Camper in early 2004, completely out of the blue after a drunken decision in a pub in Chiswick, when we thought it would be the best way to get out of London and see the world (well, at least venture beyond the Home Counties). Within a week we had a rusty beige Camper in our possession, and in the three years or so that have passed we have had it restored and travelled to Land's End via the Jamboree, Powys via Vanfest, as well as Norfolk, Shropshire, Dorset, and a two-week trip to the west coast of France. We are currently planning a three-week trip taking in Denmark, Germany, Holland, Belgium, and France next year!
We bought the Karmann Ghia earlier this year. It had been one of my good friend's wedding car nearly 10 years ago, and came up for sale by his father-in-law. We saw this as an opportunity not to be missed, and a sense of destiny played its part as
I share the same name as the
previous owner!
As they both put such a smile on our faces, we thought they might be of interest to the team at VolksWorld and its readers.
