I like the pics-reminds me of the beginning of my own "VW career" starting back in 1988. Some of the cars you posted were also known pretty known over here in Germany and an inspiration for all the "Newbies" that didn´t want to go for a "Boomplastic" car with a rear wing. Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Jon on August 31, 2006, 13:30:33 pm Hi Peter!
Great pictures, some of these cars are actualy pretty close to the Cal-look decribed in "the drawing"! This one is infact Norwegian: (http://www.funkenblitz.com/upload/scan0029.jpg) Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Zach Gomulka on August 31, 2006, 18:06:33 pm Hmmm I guess 1 pc glass was pretty popular, huh? ;)
Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Trond Dahl on August 31, 2006, 18:50:08 pm At least they didn't have chrome trimming on the sides ;-)
Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Rune on August 31, 2006, 20:30:08 pm That's right JHU, it hales from my home town. Still in the hands of the builder. Sitting in a dry garage looking just as good as it does on this picture. Very nice car, rolling on OG Centerlines and has a type 4 motor. It actually won an award at Santa Pod that day :)
He found the car sitting under a three in the forrests of Trysil. It is a factory rag top car..so you can imagine the rust damage it had :-\ Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Jon on August 31, 2006, 22:27:31 pm Hmmm I guess 1 pc glass was pretty popular, huh? ;) You got a sharp eye!! Just one ventwindow among them... incredible... Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Stephan S on September 01, 2006, 06:54:54 am I remember a bunch of these cars! Man, colors were bright... Drooled over Chris Jory's blue Oval (Europe's Most Beautiful VW) at Bug Jam #1 in '87.
Thanks for the great pics! Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: F-22A on November 08, 2010, 10:22:56 am Martin Fenner's ride ...

Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Jon on November 08, 2010, 10:57:53 am Back when Cal-look was something you could see from the outside.

Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Gaz1 on November 08, 2010, 16:12:06 pm This is how my late looker was when it was first imported to the UK in late eighties,although i didn't own it then ..

These pics remind me of the days when the excitement to building a VW was putting your own ideas into it. I think there is too much fear of deviating far from stock with our current trends.

I think the Norwegian's have it right ;) Some cool cars there - funny how those are the cars that got me into VW's :) Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: jamiep_jamiep on November 09, 2010, 17:52:56 pm Great photos Peter, would love to see more if you have them!
I remember well the black Oval on the moon dics, IIRC it was VoWorld featured, used to love that car.... ahhhh... memories... :) Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Ivan on November 09, 2010, 19:30:28 pm (http://www.funkenblitz.com/upload/scan0044.jpg) (http://www.funkenblitz.com/upload/scan0045.jpg) (http://www.funkenblitz.com/upload/scan0046.jpg) I was a lot younger back in '87 when I did this car. Still, I've got to admit, I had a lot of fun with the car. Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Black Sheep on November 09, 2010, 20:31:32 pm I never realised that was your car Ivan , used to see it all over the place in the late 80's early 90's 8)
Anyone noticed this http://cgi.ebay.co.uk/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=120643885717&ssPageName=STRK:MEWAX:IT#ht_1080wt_1141 8) ;) Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: Whiterag on November 09, 2010, 23:55:46 pm Used to love Kevs blue looker
Very understated in those days.....until he painted some of the body and back wheels yellow :o Title: Re: UK late 80's / early 90's Lookers Post by: streetvw on November 10, 2010, 04:32:26 am Great photos Peter, would love to see more if you have them!

Paint tins, minus their lids, bobbed around in the water, leaving an interesting tide mark...
