The show itself. (Show report part 2)
The Motorclássico show in Lisbon lasted three days, opening on the evening of Friday, and thus in the morning we finally positioned the cars, polished them up, hung our signs, and sat back for a well earned coffee. In all we took 9 vehicles, in addition to the 2 Cabriolets and 2 Zwitters, we had the Westy, a Fastback, Trekker, post 67 Beetle and our 58 Sunroof. (Click on images to enlarge).

We also took along two GRP shells – a Porsche 356 replica, and Manxter buggy, both of which we build for clients in the workshop. These certainly drew attention with many enquiries throughout the weekend.

A lot of people were interested in the 51 Cabriolet of course, (who wouldn’t be?) even more so when they realised we’d shoehorned a Judson supercharger into it…

But when things got too hectic for us, we could escape into the sanctuary of our Westfalia for a break:

There weren’t many Volkswagens in the show itself, so our collection drew quite an audience, everyone loves to see a VW Beetle, especially one from the fifties, and it was a great chance for us to meet new friends.
Will we be back next year? Without a doubt. See you there! Take care, all at Vintage Vans.
