STARTER MOTOR
Hardcore honey • In 1988, Mark Akullian made a splash on the So-Cal VW scene with his turbo Oval. 36 years later, he’s done it again, this time with a period perfect, early ’70’s California Looker
Cor’ blimey • It takes a lot to stand out in the VW scene in this day and age, but Chris Gosting’s Notchback does just that, thanks to a Corvair engine under the lid
Varnishing poınt • We’ve seen a great many Bus conversions over the years but can honestly say Dr. Billy Wolf’s VW, er, yacht is a truly unique creation
Prairie dog • The title might be inappropriate as this car could never be described as a dog, but that’s because Luke and Louis Theochari have had their hands on it
Behind closed ’Doors • Turbocharged VWs are nothing new, but we can’t recall seeing too many twin turbo Type 2s. Let alone a 23-window Barndoor
New RED • After a couple of false starts with ‘lesser’ buggies, Laurent Kaddouch finally scored an official Manx body, and used it to create a tribute to the car that started it all
Coupé do Brasil • Once voted VW’s most beautiful coupé, the SP2 lay dormant in its home country for decades. Now everyone wants one, but Cyril Lagavardan is one of the few that has made it happen
Six of the best? • If the idea of putting a non-VW engine in your VW appals you, move along. If not, spare some thought for Chevrolet’s Corvair
Studerman’s legacy • f it wasn’t for characters like the late Eric Studer, there would probably be a lot less Porsche 356s around than there are. Here’s the last one he owned
One for the chop • A small scale delight from Japan that’s perfect for customising
AGAINST ALL ODDS • The joy of uncovering genuine VW parts, still in situ
