its been a while since I post an pic an update here is a recent pic.

Thats proper nice, love the colour and the rims suit it big style! :mrgreen:

What differences are there on the "Etienne Aigner Edition"? Get some pics up of the interior please

Its been a long time since I post here. My Cabby has been storage for 2 year now and I just tore her down to restore her.

Hi bud,
Etienne Aiger, don't get many of them here this side of the pond. Mainly USA and mainland Europe.
I do like these versions though. Yours Bordeaux Red?

What's the plans with the car?
Oh and welcome back.

Thanks I am in the process of getting car repainted to the original paint. It is Boudreaux red.

I was at the shop today here are some progress.

Welcome back! That's a great colour, it will look fantastic once it's all freshly painted.

One of my fave colours.
Same paint was available on the classic line.

Which is like the Rivage Version edition we had in the UK.

Only we didn't get Bordeaux Red as a colour option.

That's going to look smart when it's done.
Top work going on there.

The Decals are still available from www.classicparts.de in Germany.
In fact last time I looked so was some of the interior seat covers.

Etienne  was a fashion designer who's fashion houses are still going today.
Good if your lady likes handbags.
VW asked Etienne Aigner to design a cabby for them.
Ta da!!!!

Thanks for the info hopefully I have new pics by the end of the week

Sorry a bit nerdish Lols.

Almost ready for paint!! I can' t wait.  

Will look amazing once it's all done.
On the post 90 year cars the arch kit are bonded on.
Mine were a pig of a job to get off. Someone had broken one of them during removal at one point and used mesh and some black gloopy stuff to stick it back together.
