Mr Patina

Come join the party! • 18-19 March ’23 – Sandown Park, Esher

Your SHOUT!

Riviera Motors • Like many of his countrymen, Olivier Boggio began with a pastel-coloured ’80’s Looker but his taste has slowly refined into this IDA-equipped monster

renaissance men • When two lifelong friends decided to get back into Beetles after a few years away, the race was on to see who is the quickest…

The third man • Abandoned for 35 years, 25 of which were spent under a tree, it took three successive enthusiasts to put this Ghia back on the road where it belongs

The ’Look • Remembering VolksWorld’s first California Look special

No Paine, no gain • Mark Paine was quite happy with his Porsche 356 until he saw its original colour, sparking a chain of events that would lead to the best driving car he owns

Keeping it Real • The Real Street VW drag class pits street-driven, Cal Lookorientated VWs against each other in a heads-up format. David Ruiz’s 259bhp ’57 is the 2022 championship winner

Purple BEETLE BOOSTER • Laurent ‘El Dub’ Dubois has been indulging his passion for the obscure for the past 22 years. This is his latest masterpiece

DIVINE intervention • Imagine buying a car that used to belong to a priest and then turning it into a 200bhp street car. Every time you hit the loud pedal, you’d imagine someone somewhere shaking their head

The British connection • While US companies like EMPI and Deano Dyno Soars are well known to the California Look fraternity, their English counterpart, Speedwell, remains something of a mystery, especially as far as Americans are concerned

Late model Oval • A curious, and somewhat confused, offering from Portugal

SPREAD THE WORD • Martin Greaves on the year just gone and the year ahead

ROYAL MAIL ORDER • Before Amazon you had JC Whitney, the automotive wonderland...
