History:

Christian bought his '66 in 2000 from Tobi, who had used it as his winter car. Because of this there was a lot work needed to make this Pearl white bug look how it does now! In winter 2001 Christian started to disassemble the car down to the last nut and bolt. An amazing amount of work went into this car, the attention to detail is superb. The work took until spring 2003. Christian debuted the car at the VW meeting in Osnabrück on the DFL club display.
