the van is a pick up and standard, would be better if it was a double cab, the beetle has been butchered think it's a wizard conversion, i think may be wrong

The van is an original, just been fully restored, the other is a wizard, but done exceptionally well  :cool:

dont wanna argue mate but if its a 'van' why is it now  a pick-up? and that is a wizard conversion with a really sh1t fitting roof, usually they use a perfectly sound hard top beetle and make it look like that rubbish  :lipsrsealed:

Sorry, I just call them vans.....its an original German Import (fire brigade issue) all the numbers etc check out on it, it really is lovely. As for the wizard, it does have a hard top, think that soft one is an aftermarket thingy that is normally down and matching the interior

Nice bit of negativity here boys. I'd be well happy with the pick up!

People just dont appreciate the air cooled love ;)

ran a 1300 marigold 1303 as my 1st car mate put a 1600 with twin carbs and kadron zaust in back in the day, i know im being neg but that type of scene dont do it for me,  the same as now 'stance' and 'stretch' is in, but they are sod all use in making a vw go better than equivalent manufactorers' of the day. i dont wish to p1ss on the OPs parade but honestly are them examples that grrrreat?

I would prefer to see more of the Chapel conversion!

Pickup looks odd as a single cab, beetle looks terrible with that roof.... wonder if it looks any better with it off?

just not to your taste then? no need to shoot the guy down for posting them. to be fair they both look pretty decent from the quality of the pic, bar the ill fitting roof on the wizard.

My mate had a crew cab. I love them

Crew cabs do look better, but you can get more in the back of a single!
