An hour
earlier it had
been bucketing
down and those
windows certainly
wouldn’t have
been open


Seats and door
cards covered in a
close match to the
original ‘pepper’
offering


As you can see
the conversion
isn’t elaborate ...
note this is a walk-
through model


That’s Ron
opening up the
sunroof for some
fussy person who
wanted more light


Ron Brown
‘Regularly serviced
but totally original,
the engine still
runs ‘as sweet as
a nut’’.


With thanks to...


To my wife Pat for putting up with my love of
old VWs for many a year and letting me indulge
in my hobby without ever complaining.

MG Owners’ Club. One year on a
lovely day 1,500 cars turned up,
while 25 top prizes were on offer,
with entrants ranging from Bentleys
to the inevitable crop of Rollers and
Ferraris. Guess who walked away
with best in show? You’re right, Mr
Brown’s Bus, as Ron says, ‘a humble
VW’.
That’s why this Samba-Campa is a
keeper, that and the undeniable fact
that it is the most reliable bus Ron
has ever got his hands on.
