'75 Original Hot VW Cover
Neil Davies:
I've just watched the video on the Hot VWs channel on YouTube, literally 15 minutes ago! It was seeing Bill Taormina's replica in Volksworld in early 1996 (I think!) that made me dechrome my bug and paint it bright white, and raise the back end up to stock again. It is the ultimate Cal Looker.

Delighted to see the car finished - congrats to all involved. I'm sure like many others, I first heard about this car in articles in volksworld circa 1993 and also in Keith's book a couple of years later. The simplicity of design of what volksworld called at the time 'the old school' cal look was highly inspiring and i hoovered up every detail of the old stories of the formation of the first dkp all those years earlier. The fate of Greg's/ Jim's car was always a mystery and just like the two inch pinchers (well technically one and half if you like), it seemed like the truth would never be revealed.
It is therefore very much a dream come true to finally see this car back in the condition that inspired myself and so many others. Below is a picture of the '67 I spent some years restoring after being inspired by this car and the others of dkp 1. Again thanks to all involved in its purchase and restoration.
