Air-Style VW Magazine Winter 2023 Zurück Ausgabe

A warm welcome to Issue 12 of Air-Style Magazine
While we’re wondering quite where the year went, we have another amazing edition of your favourite magazine to ease you into 2024.
Our cover vehicle is Dimitri Laneau’s 1960 Beetle. He says standard VW Bugs don’t really do it for him, so he built one with attitude.
One thing that’s always great to see is how the love of air-cooled Volkswagens is multi-generational. Toby Lee from Newquay in Cornwall comes from a real VW family and started owning Volkswagens at just 12 years old. Now 18, he has a daily driver that is a real head turner.
Talking of head turners, Dan Dryden’s ’72 1302S certainly ticks that box, as does Manuel Vanluchene’s ’68 Samtrack. What’s a Samtrack I hear you ask? Well, that’s exactly what we asked too - all will be revealed.
Air-Style’s resident Bus expert David Eccles continues to look at the history of the Devon and Richard Copping takes us back to 1957 with his popular delve into the VW literature archives.
Michiel Vercruysse also got the VW bug at a young age and is the proud owner of a very cool Pearl White ’66 Deluxe Beetle, read his story.
As we dream of sunnier days, Phil Neal’s ’70 convertible Karman Ghia should have you reaching for the sunglasses, in more ways than one. And if stance is your thing, take a look at Darren Walker’s ’68 Early Bay.
The Air-Style team have been getting out and about and took in a tour of the VW Engine Company, and Air-Style’s Jon Morton got himself along to one of Type 2 Detectives’ legendary Boot Camps – something he says he should have done years ago.
If you’re thinking about a Westfalia and wondering which one to go for, the Wolfsburg Bus Crew have done all the hard work for you – they go into detail with Crew members who are Westfalia owners.
All this and much more awaits you in another issue that we are incredibly proud of. Thank you for all your support – without you guys and girls we wouldn’t be able to do what we do.
