These are mine (69 & 82). Which one of these would you rather have??

Keep in mind the 69 is tax-exempt...

£3.50 a week is cheap, compared with the benefits of a T3

Cack brown t25 please but only if you bung the wheels that are hovering on top of the bay in with it (are they alloy) That reminds me of a song by Otis reading...........Hovering on top of the bay la la la

O yeh and while Im at it sweep the garage floor. Some people.

Ironically, I posted this same pic and created a poll at Volkszone. A strong majority voted for the 69 Westy.

I guess it's all about who you ask. I love all things VW Aircooled. An old bus is really cool IMO.

I concur with those on VolksZone...

...right up until the point it drops the valve in cylinder 3 and spews oil all over the road, overheats in a queue for a show, rusts away in real time and you freeze to death in winter.

Other than that the bay looks cute, not a cute as a split but I would rather arrive warm and in one piece.

export the bay over to the UK
tell em its fron Dallas
and therefore never been on a salted road
pump all your profit into the 1982,
or go one better, export both and get a Late 2.1 syncro westy

get the bay, sell it for stupid money. then buy a van that isnt Aircooled, like both of the vans in the pic. i agree with matt upto the 2.1 petrol part. i was thinking more 1.9 diesel (out of a 1999 golf) 50.000 miles on the clock westy, at 50mpg it makes perfect sense.

Sorry, no offense, but I bought these because they are Aircooled. As far as I'm concerned, that's the mystic behind these wonderful VW-powered vehicles.

But thanks nonetheless. I am working to move back to the UK, and selling one of these was actually planned. Now I'm uncertain which one. Hence the raising of this question.

You do realise that this is the 80-90 forum don`t you

Rusty? I've seen 5 year old cars in the UK that are rustier than my 69. Don't let surface paint flaking and old paint fool you into thinking it's rusty. Check out the bottom of the door. Do you see any rust??

no seriously--- if your selling it, bring the bay. just bring the bay. you can buy 2 x t25s with what you make on a 69 bay. people at the shows wear VW GOGGLES, and pay STUPID money just because they want to jump onto the Aircooled bandwagon. nostalgia. remember woodstock ? "man" .. then again you could keep the bay and wear sandals (in february) eat tofu and hug trees. yeaaah dude !!!!!
