Hello Pre. '67 VW,
I was directed here by the Herts VW club as no-one there could help.
I feel a slight fraud in that, at present, I don't own a VW, though I do drive a Skoda Octavia. Back in the '70's, however, I owned a 1961 Bettle, 356 DBM (named BeetleBack!) bought from a scrapyard in Hitchin and, at first, in pretty ropey condition; when I drove it away the steering was incredibly sloppy because, I discovered later, the flexible joint in the column was reduced to a ball of rags!
What I'm interested to discover, and I hope somebody here might help, is the name of the Hitchin VW dealer then. The premises were I think on Payne's Park on the site where the Cooper's Yard flats have now been built. Bizarrely someone I know now lives in one of those.
If anyone here remembers the name of that VW garage, where I bought many parts for 356 DBM, I'd be very interested to be reminded; there seems to be no record that I can find anywhere on the internet.
Thanks and best wishes
Hugh
