Bad Oeynhausen resident fulfills dream with VW-Bulli from California — © Neue Westfälische

Paul Detring from Bad Oeynhausen fulfilled a long-held dream by purchasing a VW-Bulli T2b reimported from California six years ago. Sources disagree on the vehicle's age: one says 52 years, the other 56.

The camper features Spartan yet meticulously designed equipment. The owner, a master carpenter, crafted the table himself. A souvenir on the roof serves as a reminder of the car's California origins.

Weekly Digest #19 · May 4–10
