VW Type 2 Rat Look
Sunday August 22nd at Eglinton Country Park, Ayrshire, for the Kyle Rod & Custom show. My first visit to this show, on the strength of a recommendation from Richie (who was displaying his car as part of Scottish Mini).
There was a great selection of cars on show, and the atmosphere was very friendly. Unfortunately the weather wasn't too good, and I think that put a lot of visitors and exhibitors off from coming. Hopefully that won't deter the organisers and there will be another show in 2011.
One of the vehicles that caught my eye - and lens - was this 1963 VW Type 2, a rare 15 window version not originally available in Europe. I'm not generally a fan of the "rat look" but there is something about this T2 that makes it stand out. Had a wee chat with the owner who confirmed the attention the van gets, to the point that he gets requests from brides to use it as their wedding car.
Hopefully - and with a bit of luck - I'll get another chance to photograph this VW, and preferably not within the confines of a show.

VW Beetle
A 1951 VW Beetle taking part in the RSAC Three Lochs Classic 2010 at the Royal Northern and Clyde Yacht Club, Rhu.
A spectator told me that the car is original and hasn't been restored or modified; hopefully I can track down the owner a do a proper shoot with the car.
