Air-Style VW Magazine

A warm welcome to Issue 13 of Air-Style Magazine.
It’s spring at last! My favourite time of the year in the UK. The show season, and hopefully the weather, are ahead of us – and up and down the country, people’s pride and joys are emerging from under covers and out of garages, ready to hit the road again. Talking of favourite things, we have got an amazing issue lined up for you.
Our cover vehicle is Tom Hilton’s stunning Buggy. Read how Tom turned his vision into reality.
Read about how Nick Bruynooghe from Belguim struck gold with his ’58 bronze Beetle on and find out why Andy Henderson’s ’77 Jurgens Autovilla is known as ‘The Sausage Bus’.
Air-Style’s resident Bus expert David Eccles delves into a piece of Cold War history with a fascinating look at disaster and catastrophe Buses. Also on an historical theme, Richard Copping takes us back to 1962 and the brochures that accompanied the Karmann Ghia and Razor Edge, in his regular ‘Brochure Line’. If you like what you see here, check out Darren Toplass’ ’64 Razor Edge Ghia.
If you’re an admirer of the German look, we have a thing of beauty for you as Klass Debacker gives us a tour of his ’69 Beetle.
We have some awesome Buses for you too – Nico Brück’s ’52 Barndoor really has a fantastic story. Parked up for around 30 years, read about how Nico brought this classic back to life. And we have a very rare beast – a ’63 Campahome Split Screen – still very original; and owned by Mick Johnstone from Lancashire.
Air-Style’s ‘Great Baja Build’ continues, and you can see where we’re at. With a major deadline on the horizon, you’ll see the progress we’ve made with this amazing project.
We have another great round-up of life in the low lane from UTA, including a special collection of UK vehicles; we have the latest news from the Wolfsburg Bus Crew and in ‘On the Ground’ this issue, we hear more about the Kodoxhead Inc club from Malaysia.
All this and much more!
Enjoy the issue.
