Great score Fig!!
Couldn't have gone to a nicer guy!
I vote for leave it as is - a car is only original once & stonechips are the only REAL trophies

Re: 57 RHD oval ragtop
FINALLY! FIG HAS AN OVAL!! I remember you mentioning to me at Ferdi's swap meet last year that of all the Volkswagens you've had, an oval had not yet graced the list... Well now the "circle" is complete - no pun intended! 
Congratulations! She is an absolute beaut and I think we'd all agree that there'd be no better home for her. Enjoy

Gongrats Fig! I think there are a lot of jealous members today, me included.
The only substitute for cubic inches are more cubic inches.

Damn your sooo lucky... Take good care of it man!
