Andy and Lorraine have owned their 1964 Canterbury Pitt Kombi since April 2004, having previously owned beetles since around 1995. She was restored by
the previous owner back in 1992 and featured in the June 1993 issue of the
Volksworld magazine. After only a few months of owning the van,

Andy and Lorraine were asked whether they would be willing to allow the Practical
Classics magazine use the van for one of their ‘Buyers Guide’ articles, and she duly appeared in the July 2005 issue. Since then, Lorraine has made new curtains and had the cushions recovered to freshen up the interior, and they have also made new panels to co-ordinate.

The wardrobes on each side at the rear have been removed to give a feeling of space and light, replaced by wicker baskets for storage. The engine is a VEGE recon 1600cc twin-port,built to stock spec, with the exception of a Weber 32/36 carb and manifold kit. The van has a Riviera under floor heating unit, which operates from agas bottle,which is still in the standard location on the left hand side of the engine compartment.
