VW Nationals Recap
Well what a day! We hope everyone who went to the VW Nationals this year had a blast, and those who missed out enjoyed attending vicariously through the many photos we posted!
There were official awards and medals handed out on the day, but we at Righteous Kombis have decided to choose our own winners, which are basically just our favourites!
Splitscreen
The Splitscreen VW Kombi that took our fancy was this beautiful red 23 window Samba. While we've always been uncertain about red Kombis, this dark burgendy complements this classic VW. The roof racks complete the vintage look.
Bay Window
This low-light has undergone a beautiful restoration, and has a soft-top roof, reupholstered seats and interior panels, and a Stan Pobjoy motor.
VW Rat
We love grungy look, and this Kombi Splitty rat takes out our award for best rat. "Rustie" has ruby red interior that is so striking against the original blue paint, and there is just the right amount of patina. The old luggage in the roof racks works so well on this Splitty, and the mini version of the Kombi on the inside is a nice touch!
Special mentions
The Kombi limo has to get a special mention - it was pretty darn rad to see it and be able to peer inside. It has a disco floor and lights, a bar, tvs, air con and who knows what else!
We also love this Type 3 Fastback - the colour painted in a matte finish, the roof racks with retro luggage, and the whitewalls.
