I am a new member and have been asked to introduce myself. When I was a teenager living in South Wales, I seemed to see lots of bugs, which now seems odd, considering how few were made but I just thought that they were the coolest car I had ever seen. I wanted one really badly! Then my interest was rekindled after I saw the recent car SOS episode and so I thought I would follow up on it and started looking around. I am genuinely interested in buying one and thought that it would also be good if it didn't depreciate like most cars do.

So I am actively looking and seeing what the market looks like at the moment

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

Jon T: Hi all, I am looking to purchase a bug, dont mind if needs some work, anyone point me in right direction. thanks< Apr 20, 2021 10:52:19 GMT

mysticmick: hi all . i recently purchased a bug . my dream car for restoration . i have the vin plate . with chassis number and engine number . but sadly no reg number . is there any way of finding out the original reg so i could apply for the v5 .. thanks in advance May 8, 2021 16:20:42 GMT

cdb15: To Mystic Mick: contact HPI and ask if they will do a VIN-only check. Usually if you have the registration it's £19 or so, but may be different from the VIN. Or there is a DVLA procedure using form V62 - check out the government web site for the procedure. May 17, 2021 20:15:30 GMT
