Where have we been, what have we done?
Since our last update, we’ve been busy as per usual. One of the latest cars to roll off the Vintage Vans production line is this officially licensed Meyers Manx “Manxster”, a 2+2 buggy, running a reliable but perky 1600 twin port, and kitted out for the customer and his kids to enjoy summer…
And talking of Meyers Manx buggies, we have another for sale: one that we built for a client last year – who is now passing it on (click to enlarge the image):

At the end of May we took a well earned long weekend and headed up to the north of Portugal for the 17th VW Classic, held in Caminha. Frantic last minute work to change gearboxes on my 1960 Westy paid off, and our convoy of four cars set off on the Friday for an 8 hour drive up north. Apart from the Westy, we took our 1951 cabriolet, our 58 sunroof, and Hugo from www.hugopecas.com joined us in his late model. An occasional hiccup on route slowed us down a little, and hitting the rush hour in Opporto did nothing to calm our nerves, but we eventually made it, checked into the hotel, and headed straight for a great restaurant…
Here’s a video of a few of the cars which showed up on the Saturday.
So, what have you got planned for the summer? Let us know, and if in Portugal, drop by for coffee.
For now, take care, all at Vintage Vans.
