A warm welcome to Issue 9 of Air-Style Magazine We have another packed issue for you, with an amazing selection of content – something for everyone! Our cover vehicle this month is Andy Axnix’s Standard model ’49 Beetle that has many a tale to tell. Read all about this fascinating classic. We are very lucky at Air-Style to have some of the most respected, experienced specialist VW journalists writing for us. Our resident Bus aficionado, David Eccles, never disappoints, and this issue takes a look at how the Transporter was adopted by many of the emergency services; while Richard Copping’s latest instalment of Brochure Line takes us back to 1951, looking in detail at the early VW marketing from Bernd Reuters. Pete Elmer from Norfolk in the UK shows us around his ’71 Trekker; and check out the husband-and-wife team and their ’56 Drag Oval. Talking of great partnerships, there are few better than a VW Split Screen with a matching Eriba Puck in tow – Rolf Berger from Switzerland is the proud owner of just such a combo, as you’ll see in this issue. If that doesn’t have you grinning like a Cheshire cat, take a look at the ’75 Puma GTE owned by 58-year-old Guy Verschatse from Belgium; and if you’re a fan of detail, then take a look at Rose, the pink ’67 Beetle. For many of us, our air-cooled pride and joy really is a member of the family, and Danni Aitken’s Buggy is no exception - read her story. All this plus much more, including the latest update on the Air-Style Baja build, await you in the pages ahead.
