Hi,
  I've recently joined the club, I've had a few strange vehicles in my time, a Dodge Tradesman van with a big V8 which I fully restored with custom stripes shag pile carpet slot mags and zoomy exhausts complete with zebra print interior and of corse a bed in the back, the a corvette, a 1968 Matt black beetle and now my latest project and a bit of a child hood dream of owning one a beach bug!! It's Renagade on a 1964 shortened chassis, was glitter coat blue but now a Cadbury purple metallic. It's running a type 3 1600 with twin Webber's. I've been working on it over the summer as it has a few things to attend to as it had been neglected for a few years. I'm chuffed with the outcome. She's looking and driving sweet  :D
  I was told by the previous owner that it was built in 1972 and looking at the history I got with it there are many bills from the 1985 era so I think it had a major rebuilt about then, think that was probably when it was painted purple?? The reg is BHF 669AIf any of you know any of the history of it I would be very interested. Looking forward to getting involved in the club and hopefully meeting up with some of you sometime.
Cheers. Phil.

Glad your Cadbury coloured buggy is proving to be 'sweet'. It sounds like the few things to attend to are pretty minor - so you are able to enjoy the buggy owning experience immediately.

At the beginning of September we had a great time driving along and around the coast from Blakeney through Cromer and down to Great Yarmouth - see 'Cromer Weekend' in 'I know What you Did last Summer' on this site.

So whereabouts in Norfolk are you ?

 ;-)up   Its a shame Ive just missed the September drive along the Norfolk coast. Sounds great. I live in Cantley which is roughly in between Gt Yarmouth and Norwich.
