1958 Rhd uk beetle, bought this for my wife but we’ve found another car we’d really like..
I think 58/59 cars are the best era beetles, this car luckily still has its beautiful original interior in amazing condition. It’s a matching numbers car, all running and driving. It’s a presentable car but ideally a very mild rolling resto could transform this into something very special. £6750
Also have a capri blue 58 ragtop, again with amazing original interior, has potential to be a fantastic “patina” car. £7500

Been a bit all over the place this month.. but smashed it this week! Dragged the 61 Rhd 15 in and pulled what little was left apart! Huge order from Alan H Schofield Ltd 😘 and we absolutely nailed the chassis! Looks easy but to get everything square and welded correct takes time! Can’t wait for next week to reunite it all again and make it look like a bus 🤗

Here we go.. again
If you like terrible sound quality videos, with two awkward middle aged men then we have a treat for you 🤗 we might not be slick on the videos but we can build cars so hopefully the full built Rhd 15 window coming up on our YouTube channel very soon will float your boat. Got all the best involved with this one, and we’re going to show you how to build a chassis properly and build this extremely rare Rhd 15 window into something of beauty

Give us a like and follow and there’s a lot of good stuff coming up

It’s been a very long journey with this one.. but it feels so good to be putting some miles on the old girl now 🤩 Lewis Westside Fabrications Ltd (Residential) thank you so much for entrusting us with this build and being so supportive with the work we’ve put into this. I hope you and your family get a lot of enjoyment out of the mango! The full okrasa motor pulls so well, feels a super nice bus.
Thank you as always to Bob.. last few weeks have been tough with the build up 😬, Tom Cole’s for smashing the mechanical side, Sam Sam Trigg for the complete interior! And check out how smooth the sunroof is! Outstanding 🙌🏻 and of course Alan H Schofield Ltd for every panel, seal, trim and parts used on this build 💪🏼 the best as always.
Really nice to have two finished busses here! But can’t wait to see them go 😂 m

Hessisch 2026… hard for words to describe this show really! The build up for the last couple months have been crazy to get the taxi and Ian MacDowall 53 smoothgate finished plus painting Dai Watkins 50 panel earlier in the year.. and we did it 🤗 absolutely non of this would of been possible without Stuart Pennicook who always goes above and beyond, Tom Coles for all the spannering, dragging everything everywhere and just taking everything in his stride! Hitchman for all barndoor beam/spindles and steering box stuff, Trigg Sam Trigg for turning his hand from the best trimming I’ve seen to then mechanical and build up.. just the best bunch of legends! Thank you.
Steve for what I think is the best patina work we’ve ever seen on the 53 smoothgate and he worked day and night to get it across the line. And last but not least Rick up Alan H Schofield Ltd who we use for every panel, trim, rubber and mechanical piece used on all our restos, countless last minute emergency calls and next day delivery.
The cars at the show were absolutely mind blowing and great to see a lot of old Smiths cars, but better than that was meeting up with old and new friends 🤗
Thank you all a truly amazing weekend
And even managed to get a volksworld photoshoot on the taxi done 💪🏼

Hessisch oldendorf was just incredible and the last couple months has been crazy getting a few cars finished.. but here goes with this!
For Sale, Transport Lausanne TL 15 taxi is for sale. Originally delivered as a factory primer right hand drive right hand loading door bus delivered to Switzerland (AMAG) then had coachbuilt loading doors that both open same direction.
This was one of 6 TL split window taxis made and we believe to be the only remaining one.
We have put an incredible amount of time and work into building the bus you see here and tried to get all details as perfect as possible.
We hand made the destination board and rear luggage rack from photos and think we got it all spot on.
After extensive welding the body was painted in factory TL blue and white outside with grey inside.
Complete fresh interior was trimmed by Sam Trigg and is simply incredible.
Completely unique bus and built to an extremely high standard.
Can ship anywhere in the world at buyers expense
£150k car will be available for viewing on Isle of Wight 07791596199

Throw back to about 2007… life was easy 😂 my trusty 2003 174 twin slider T5 pretty much first T5 brought into the country, had so many amazing adventures in that van.. towing my 1954 Rhd single cab, that I saw for sale in the back of volksworld! It was in NZ so I flew out the next week and bought that and two other cars and shipped them home! And rebuilt it over a winter.

Still for sale.. I’m absolutely loving having this as my daily! But my customer needs to move forward with another project! £50k gets it, possible px but ideally straight sale! Runs and drives great, not a show pony but just a lovely usable 911
