Hello from Auckland, New Zealand. My name is Rob and I have just purchased my bug from another Rob. I read that many look at the forum but don't contribute, so I thought I had better make an effort. Currently restoring a Reliant Regal van and came across what I understand is the one and only bug on the road in NZ, and it was for sale. Just had to buy it. Have a few friends wanting to buy in. I drove it to the shop on the weekend, a trip that should have taken only 5 min, it took 30 min. I was stopped entering the shop, stopped inside the shop and stopped outside the shop with question after question. Then someone followed me home, whilst the car was photographed by other car drivers and then had kids shouting out to me as I drove past. I think I will take the Toyota next time !!!!!

rogeru7: Hi the basic lock is off a Triumph but it will then need a major mod to be used on the Bug canopy unless you have access to a lathe and a mill it’s not an easy mod Jan 18, 2021 20:15:56 GMT
