Air-Style VW Magazine Autumn 2022 Edizione posteriore

A warm welcome to issue 7. If you’re wondering what that creaking noise is, it’s this issue – which is bursting at the seams with our biggest line-up of amazing features to date.
Our cover car is Benoit Surquin’s slammed Beetle, we head over to Belgium to see how his build led not only to a very cool car, but also a whole new group of low-loving air-cooled friends.
Talking of Europe, the region was host to two classic VW shows in July – Hessisch Oldendorf in Germany, which takes place every four years, and European Bug-In in Chimay Belgium, which is every other year. If you weren’t lucky enough to get along, you can read Dave Warren’s report from his recent trips to both, and we have a review of our very own Volks Weald show.
Our resident Bus connoisseur David Eccles tells us about two of his all-time favourite Special Models and in the first of what will be a new series of features, we look at the fascinating world of VW brochures - Richard Copping takes us back to 1955 with a look at the sales literature of the day.
Rob Loughrey, Club Chairman for Leicestershire and Warwickshire VW Owners Club, tells us about the club’s fascinating history; we have a roundup of the latest VW products; a ’67 Split; a Cal-look Beetle that really is a peach of a car; a ’64 Notchback; a wedding Bus that was rescued from a tip; an awesome hot rod; plus much much more.

Thanks for your continued support and positive feedback – it really is appreciated by all of us. It is an absolute pleasure putting each and every issue together for our readers and we have loved every minute of it. Hopefully, our enthusiasm comes through via the pages!

Enjoy the issue!
