At a VW meeting, with my trusty
1600cc -
this VW model is a German 1302-S, and was built back in 1972.
Photo was taken in 1993.
We bought this car in 1984, and I spent one year
repairing it - just the body & paint - the engine has now @250000km, and still is the original.
The front windows were home made, glass and rubber, and I believe
they were the first one-piece windows in Portugal (?). Nobody cared much
about VW's back then...

On the Summer of 1989, I found this '61 VW Bus
abandoned in the middle of nowhere , and we bought it - we paid, back then,
$200 and it still had two spare 1200cc engines and 3 complete wheels (16" ones)
inside.
Still had the original 6 volt radio !!
We put it to work - the only new parts needed were a
6V battery and a set of contacts - , and rode 1500km in a week.
This photo was taken in Bragança, a city
in the top North of Portugal.

And to finish, the oldest photo...
This photo was taken in April 1983,
and that is (many years..) ago !!
It was the day me and Gloria got the papers to get married
- weren't we young back then :)
