john,
As i’m looking at your car i noticed that the top doesn’t match the interior seats ,Im assuming that the boot and the side curtains matches the top and the carpet matches the interior seats.That is the way mine is.I was thinking about changing the top and boot to match seats.Now i’m wondering.I wouldn’t change it if i thought this is the way it was met to be.
love your car,love your dogs
Happy New Year to all our forum folks. Question for you John. In the picture above, who’s driving?
Allen Caron
VW based 53MGTD - "MoneyPenny"
"If one thing matters, everything matters" - from the book The ShackAlllen – and happy new year to you-well Pudge is in the drivers seat ..but Sally is the boss lady ..
Greg -what you are seeing is the underside of the convertible top.
Is your London Roadster a V W pan or factory bulit chassis? I do have many questions .I just picked up my London Roadster… any enlightenment on what to expect in the future a far as maintenance ?
Happy New Year !
john,
Just a few minor problems.Sometimes when shifting hard to find 1st. [linkage adjustment]Once it just cut out, short in engine wiring replased all wire connecters.Heading home late fall drive, it quit, called auto club delivered to my house. next day it started fuel related i suspect.I plan on always having extra fuel filter with me.All problems minor.Oh!!! i think its a factory bilt chassis.How do you tell?
Greg, I am all new to this and
my ’72VW running gear..I will
post more with pic in a few
days. What year is your
engine?.thxzz
JOHN,
1 am also new to this.The information that came with the car says its a 1985 engine.Bought it july 2011.I plan to find out more in the spring
John, I’m so envious right now, you’re driving around the beach and I look outside and see white fluffly stuff blowing in the wind, and it ain’t sand. Love the BRG color of your car too.
Montie – we ahve been lucky ..its been a mild winter so far…
spring is aroound the corner

here is my front end on my London roadster.. Is this the typiocal V W suspension
or factory built suspension?Looks like my steel chassis. Factory built London Roadster. Same coilover shocks. Rear shocks inside coil spring suspension. front spindle’s ,rotors, brakes from a 66-71 squareback or fastback.
Car looks great.

That there’s a real twin A-arm automotive suspension, bunkie! Nice. Mendaleoa (spelled wrong) gets quite a bit of scratch to put something that looks a lot like that in VW-based tube-framed cars.
