It's all to do with VW's heritage. As a die-hard Volkswagen fan, the Volksworld Show will never disappoint; it's the show that many new, restored, discovered, rare and original cars are first debuted. This year was no exception.
I checked my Instagram feed early on the Saturday morning long before the gates opened, to find that just a few hours earlier the Volksworld crew were still adding the finishing touches to one of this year's surprises - a recreation of a fifties dealership - filled with early and rare coachbuilts.
Great attention to detail and filled with cars from Karosserie Rometsch and Beutler, to name a few. Simply jaw-dropping. I've always had a soft-spot for the Rometsch Beeskow, to see this 1951 example in the flesh was fabulous.
Other vehicles of note; the 1952 Barndoor painstakingly restored by Status VW:
The body-dropped Split by Type 2 Detectives with flawless body and paint by iKustoms:
The Lightning Bug. Found, restored and shipped to the UK. This should be racing again at the European Bug-in later this year:
Outside, this gorgeous Audi 100 was displaying this year's trend of going lower than most:
Back inside, this Notchback with stunning body and paintwork - another area where many people have upped-their-game this year. Some of the paintwork and finishing levels were just off the scale.
Will I be going again next year? More than likely. The weather could have easily put people off but it really wasn't that bad - with the pop-top roof staying down and the diesel heater ticking over, we were quite comfortable... or was that the drink keeping me warm? Here's another pic of that cold camping:
See you there next year, hopefully it will be warmer!
