Bugnana man
Some people build a VW and then sell it shortly afterwards. Others hang on to theirs for years, whether for sentimental reasons or just because they consider the project finished, and either want to enjoy driving it, or just can’t face doing any more to it!
Adam Gratton’s relationship with his ’66 is perhaps a mix of all of the above. There’s no doubt about the sentimental attachment. But there’s also the fact he’s never really considered the car finished before. It is now though.
Adam explains: “My interest in VWs began when I was about nine or 10. My best friend lived next door and his dad drove a Sea Blue ’66 Bug. I can still remember the feeling of the heaters blowing on the back of my feet when I sat in the back of that car, and from that point on I was just obsessed with VWs.”
As a child, Adam worked through various radio control cars (including a Tamiya Sand Scorcher, of course)
