Hi all,
A quick message to say hello and thanks for a useful forum, I have recently bought a Sept 1970 Bug 700E which will be having a full restoration, there are only a few parts missing which is a god send.
My other projects are a Mk1 Escort and 2 x Sinclair C5's (1 factory condition, the other a 30+ mph death trap).
Look forward to chatting with you and gaining valuable info.
Regards

Hi bitsabug and welcome to the forum, as you say it's a good start if not much is missing and as for the mk1, very nice.
Where are you based ? As there maybe Bug owners close to you that you don't realise.
P.s have you joined the Bug club yet ? A must for Bug owners and enthusiasts and worth every penny.

Thanks Vannin, I'm from South Cumbria and aware of a few around here but haven't met in person as yet, though would like to eventually have a drive about with them once mine is complete. I will join the club when I can, look forward to it. Regards |

Let me guess, Ulverston ?
I go to the South lakes a lot and sometimes in my Bug and I know a Bug owner in Dalton and in Ulverston oh and in Barrow come to think of it.
There are membership joining details on this site for when you want to join THE club

Brilliant, give me a shout when you're next in as I live a few miles outside of Ulverston. Where are you from Vannin?

You'll also find if your enthusiasm is on the wane just getting the club magazine through your door every other month or talking to other owners doing a rebuild will reignite your interest in the Bug
