Described as being 'blue' on the DVLA records, this rusting, ratty-lookin' splitty was only registered here in October 2003, but having been built in 1954 it's one of the oldest examples I've come across.

Thought it about time that I stopped playing with orbs and got another automotive album started, this time for a fairly small show local to me which I attended back in the summer of 2013. The Hurworth Classic Car Show was organised in partnership with the Teesside Yesteryear Motor Club . There weren't all that many VWs there, but this gorgeous old camper would still have caught my eye had there been hundreds of them in attendance.

Here's that 1960/2008 bus from the rear with the main show ground and Heaves Hotel itself in the distance.

Well, we have a saying in the UK that you wait ages for a bus and then two come along at once, but rarely do they look this good! Interestingly, the oldest of the two was only registered here in 2008 so I guess it must be a recent import.

Never expected to find one of these around the corner on a recovery vehicle, but there you go. Stunning example, but not showing for some reason on the DVLA records.

Not so much the dark side, just the other (and equally colourful) other side!

And for the purist, here is a split screen. Have to say I'm not sure about the colour scheme, but each to their own.
