My 58 samba, originally from Texas, currently in Sydney, and soon on its way to Ireland with me.

Maybe we shouldn't go up against such a fantastic samba but i hope you guys like our '67 deluxe splitty. Also from Texas, his name is Rodriguez.

Unlikely to have a chance against that Samba (Especially with those superb pro shots), but here goes.............
My 1965 Californian Import purchased from a forum member last November. Currently in Absolute VW having some bits and bobs updated/fixed/maintained to get it ready for summer.............

I saw it in Absolute VW last Saturday. Had a good look at it whilst it was there. As did most of the other visitors.
Just down your way picking up some Devon interior bits that I had bought of eBay.
Lovely looking van.

Good of you to say mate. Theres a few more things I want to do to it yet, such as Safaris and more work on the interior but the mechanical bits are sapping my resources and have to take priority!
