Pugwash’s 55 plate Bay camper.

The Work was done by Beetles UK, converted to RH drive (though Pugwash did have to weld the gear stick back together after their welding failed), fitted independent Webasto petrol heater (they don’t need heaters in Brazil) also fitted heated front and rear windows and re-sprayed lower half of body. All underbody undersealed.

Engine is a 1600cc air-cooled flat four, fuel injected and fitted with catalytic converter, average fuel consumption 29/30 m.p.g. Front disc, rear drum brakes.

Pugwash started on the fit out last year and now have enough done for the odd night away, the grand plan is to complete it this year, time and money permitting.

One cool ride.
