Air-Style VW Magazine Winter 2022 Vorige editie

A warm welcome to Issue 8 of Air-Style Magazine
Our cover vehicle this month is Sven De Prins’ amazing ’64 Split Panel Van – a hard-working
van that has a fascinating history - read Sven’s story.
Talking of fascinating histories, our resident Bus aficionado David Eccles celebrates 70 years
of the Samba and looks at this iconic model in detail, while Richard Copping’s Brochure Line
takes us back to 1961, as he delves back into the VW marketing brochure archives for us.
You’ll see how Mark Simms has faithfully restored his ’72 Westfalia Continental and, if
originality is your thing, Allan Ward’s ’68 Devon takes some beating.
Kerry Davies and his son Adam tell us about their family’s love of the Beetle, you’ll meet
Simon Smith and his amazing ’67 Squareback and ’67 Type 34 – a real jaw dropper!
As you probably know, we have a bit of a soft spot for the Baja here at Air-Style, so when we
heard there was a Baja movie coming out documenting the history of the Baja Bug – from
the very early days of The Mexican 1000 Rally right up to the present day – of course we
were keen to find out more - read our exclusive interview with the filmmaker Michael
Squier.
All this and plenty more await you in the pages ahead. We hope you enjoy reading them as
much as we have enjoyed putting them together.
