Well, just to give you some competition I'll post a pic of my Dads van..

Spec:
1960-ish rat look split
OG 'sort of mango-ish' paint,
Deatailed badge,
Billet wheels,
Nice red interior

:lol:

This is the second one he's had, I bought it for him as the first one he had was/still is at the bottom of the Rhine where it 'fell' from a bridge 40+ years ago..

Absolutely rib tickled at this well done on a theme outside the box. a slammed and narrowed leggo is odd but a MINI ME bus is a great theme.

well done guys ,,,who will win this month ????

I feel responsable, but I couldn't resist and to be fair I was a touch worried that I may offend some people, but that wasn't the intention!

Come on SSVC members you can do it...

OK, NOT for the Purists!!

1962 21 Window Samba Deluxe LHD US Spec.

Extensive modifications...

0.2332cc Motor
Huge 2" Split rims shod in 1.25"/2mm/2" Yoko's
Full Airkweld Air suspension running independant compressors
Porsche 1" Discs all round
Lowered a massive 26mm
0.5" Narrowed beam
One bulb LED lights
Tinted Windows
This was originally Ruby Red and White, but fully stripped to remove all the OG FILLER and painted in Lotus White.
Sound spec is huge, way too much to list but the 6x 1.25" Audiobhan Subs, 4x 0.75" Audiobhan Subs, and all the components and 12 Amps, should give you an idea of the massive 1.5Watts RMS it pumps out...

Way too much to list the mods in the interior, so on to the pics.....

The huge powered 0.2332cc motor burning those tyres!

Full lock and plenty of Dog Nuts!!! 8)

Mine was a 21 but had to fill in the other windows and the ragtop to try and make it look like mine :roll:
