Here are some photos of my father-in-law’s pride and joy. Bob ordered it from Beetles UK in 2001 as a brand new Mexican import. He wanted it to stand out, so ordered it in a deep Metallic Blue finish along with a Ragtop and a RHD conversion. He then added a fully remote Sony stereo and upgraded the speakers. Since then he has used the car as a daily driver until a few months ago when he decided he wanted to add some extras. A new two-inch narrowed front beam fitted with CB-dropped spindles and a ‘fats and small’ combo of Porsche Fuchs 4.5-inch alloys at the front with 145 tyres and Porsche Fuchs 5-inch alloys at the rear with 205 tyres, now give the car its stance.
He also picked up the roof rack at your show at Sandown Park, along with the rear light clusters this year. The number plate L333 TLE was originally owned by me and really gets heads turning. It was Bob’s 62nd birthday in June and as a belated present to him I thought it would be cool for him to see his ride in VolksWorld Magazine.
