Scott Perry is coming down on the train to drive a low-mileage 1963
Notchback Sunroof, Jack Fisher has his 1964 T34 Coupe ready to roll,
and Jason Weigel will be flying down from Washington to drive with
me in the 1962 Cabriolet. We’re leaving Thursday morning in a
caravan from San Diego headed to Los Angeles to meet up with
more T34/3’s including Bob Walton & Scott Taylor. Then we’ll
continue another four hours northwest along the Pacific Coast
Highway 101 into Cayucos. You’ll see the trip report next edition.
The T34 Action Never Ends!
A month after the huge 50 th Anniversary events in Germany, I’m
now looking forward to the Central California T34 50 th Anniversary
weekend. The T34s were tuned-up, minor repairs made that I’d
been putting off, and now we’re ready.
Working on Ray Mead’s 1963 reassembly has been a longer process
than I expected, but they usually are. Kids soccer practices, weekend
family BBQs, and even sometimes work gets involved. He bought it
at the end of July and it went to be painted while I was in Germany.
I’ve been working on it from mid-August through September.
Tearing a T34 apart is a half-day task but reassembling it takes much
longer. The best thing about working on a T34 is that it creates
many new article ideas. Here’s my front yard with the 1962 & 1963.
I’m excited to announce a new special limited-edition (150) metal
T34 50 th Anniversary badge. These were created by Heiko Thum in
Germany based on the special 50 th Anniversary t-shirt design created
by John Jaranson in the USA. Check inside for details.

Join Us: Central California T34 50th
Scott Taylor has put together another great blog with information
about the event as well as the original introduction of the Type 3
50 years ago. Please visit vwt3celebration.blogspot.com/
Come for the day, all four days, or whatever part of it you can
make. Accommodations range from camping to 4-star B&B’s. It
would be best to stay in Cayucos, but Morro Bay, San Luis Obispo,
Los Osos, and Cambria are not that far away either.
Well here it is - we have been planning and have tightened up our
itinerary for the US celebration of the 50th anniversary of the Type
3 VW. It is fashioned to be a self catered affair, just a four day
gathering of folks and our cars in a central location in one of the
most beautiful areas in California.
The beach town of Cayucos is going to be the home base starting
Thursday evening, September 29. There will be a cruise up to Lucia
(in Southern Big Sur) on Friday, an all German Car show that we
will have a special spot at in Cambria on Saturday, and a cruise to
the wine country of Northern San Luis Obispo County of Sunday.
There will be a special party at the historic Borridori Garage on
Saturday night, but they depend upon the turnout. For more
details or to confirm, email Tom at TomReay@T34World.org

Spotlight: 8600-Mile 1968 Time Capsule
Wayne McCarthy (Cork, Ireland) has a multi-VW collection that
includes a Split-Window, a Squareback, a Beetle Cabriolet, & one of
the lowest-mileage T34s in the world! His 8600-mile 1968 M344
Coupe (#348 006 784) has its original engine #T0 480 218. It was
first published in the UK’s Safer Motoring magazine in late-1990 in a
section called “Secondhand Selection”.
The original owner lady traded-in to the Smithfields dealership and
then they put up to auction in Feb 1989 but never sold. Then in
April 1991 it was bought by Mr. Vijay Solanki from Kings Heath,
Birmingham (central England) for £13,995, the dealer’s full asking
price. The second owner only drove it 300 miles during his
ownership. Wayne bought it in June 2011, having heard about it
from Jonny Abbott at VW Java near Birmingham. It was at the Bad
Camberg event in June and Wayne bought it soon after.
