It's A Bug's Life!
The bulk of Germany’s surviving classic commercials are the fabled Type 2 ‘splitties’ and ‘bay windows’, and it’s fair to say that there are hundreds worldwide, including here in the UK. However, Volkswagen didn’t just build commercials on these larger chassis, as Dean Reader found out.

Mount Hawke Music Maker
There are certain things you must do when heading to the deep South-West, and partaking of a Cornish Pasty or their local cream tea are well up that list. But if you get the time – and opportunity – then look up Martin Caddy in the sleepy settlement of Mount Hawke and ask if you can listen to the magical sound of his 1951 ‘O’ type Bedford. Bob Tuck reckons that alone is worth the long trip as it’s simply music to the ears.
