Hey everyone. I've been lurking around here for a while and thought it's about time to introduce myself.
Back in about '86 I inherited a Manx Beach Buggy from my father as my very first car, and so my affair with VWs began. As an 17yo at the time I had a ball with that car until finally the need for something a little more practical led me to sell it.
After a brief dabble with a Peter Wherrett Sigma, I decided I missed having something different, and with a bit of persuasion from my Kit Car loving Dad, I purchased a Sabre MK2 kit in '89. I spent 2 years building a unique "one off" with the help of the guys at the factory and then another 13 years enjoying it. Unfortunately in about 2004 I lost a bit of interst in it, and my mother "bought" it off me for a steal, as she couldn't bear to see me sell it.
In the past couple of years I've toyed with buying a KG, but just recently I've had thoughts of rekindling my relationship with my beloved Sabre. Fortunately for me, my mother has had it in storage for the past 7 years and has been paying the rego the whole time. I haven't seen it in a long time but I'm heading up to her property this weekend to see what state it's in, and see if I can coax it back off her. Wish me luck 🙂
One of the few images I have of it:
