A great show for the discerning rim-perv!
For quite a few years now the VW-Northwest show at Tatton Park has become increasingly bias towards the water-cooled end of the VW spectrum.
As a one-time air-cooled vee-dubber I used to sneer at the Golf-boys with their shonky 'modified' cars and rattly bass bins...
But all this has changed.
The water-cooled scene has been maturing nicely and there seems to a higher benchmark of vehicle quality. Restorations and body-finishes that would rival even the finest classic v-dub, subtle styling cues, none of the brash, in-your-face nineties stuff. This is carefully considered, passionate and high quality work.
T5s were in limited numbers - there were a few around. T4s seem to be everywhere in the car park - where do they all come from?
All-in-all a great show, the weather helped too. As one-day shows go it's up there with the best.
Look out for future blog posts where I try and decide which wheels are going to look best on the van - Tatton certainly provided lots of fuel for thought!
