New addition to the family
Hi Guys
I have been looking for a straight 76 beetle for a long time that was also very straight and original and after a lot of searching found this a few
months ago.
Now all I need to do is decide on what I'm going to do with it!
Martini Olive...what a great colour!
Regards
Greg

Looks great. That used to be George's from Classic Vee Dub.
I have to agree with you on the colour as my new ride is the same but a 75.

Hi Spearsy
I didn't get it from George and when I asked the owner the history he didn't mention anything about George...anyway, doesn't really matter.
Regards
Greg

Martini Olive...what a great colour!
|
Interestingly, when I got my Martini Olive L bug (about 25 years ago), I hated the colour. I reckoned when I could afford it, I would get it
re-sprayed any other colour.
Since then, it has grown on me, and when I had it re-sprayed a few years ago, I had it done in - you guessed it - Martini Olive.
It is a great colour - rather distinctive, and doesn't seem to show the dirt - hardly ever looks dirty.
Yours looks good - I will have to check it out when I am down at some of the Sydney shows.
From your ole' mate Jeff
