Air-Style VW Magazine | Winter 2024
A warm welcome to Issue 16 of Air-Style VW Magazine
Our cover car is a stunning Volksrod belonging to Lance Kohn. Read all about how circumstances lead to this once very original 1966 Beetle being transformed.
There is nothing square about a Squareback as far as team Air-Style is concerned, and we have a stunning example of these often overshadowed members of the Volkswagen family, where owner François Nicolas gives us a guided tour of his pride and joy.
Air-Style’s resident Bus expert David Eccles looks back at 1960, a time when demand outstripped supply for the Westfalia camper, and the ‘Westfakia’ was born, and Richard Copping takes us back to 1952 in his ever-popular ‘Brochure Line’ series.
Regular maintenance is an essential part of classic VW ownership and in our ‘How to’ feature Air-Style’s Sam Jeffery takes you through sorting out leaking push rod seals on a type 4 engine.
We do love a crew cab here and it is great to see one that is still hard at work and earning its keep. Read about Darren Marsh’s trusty work companion, his ’70 single crew cab. Read how Ian Pratt’s ’68 Type 2 Microbus Deluxe made its journey from a scrapyard in Montana, USA, to end up under his ownership.
If you are thinking about a road trip for 2025, then check out part one of Air-Style reader Colin Hodge’s story, and we have more ‘Tales from the driving seat’ for you on page 90.
There’s another great round-up of life in the low lane from UTA, and in our ‘On the Ground’ feature we learn more about the West Norfolk Dubz Club.
All this and plenty more awaits you in the pages ahead, with a unique selection of air-cooled eye candy from around the globe!
Enjoy the issue!

Like many great origin stories - the idea of Air-Style VW Magazine was conceived in a pub. Four like-minded friends knew that they weren't alone in their love for all things Volkswagen. They felt there was a gap in the market for the many that shared their passion, and believed that they could provide a service that speaks to the people in love with the cars, vans, music and lifestyle that makes the VW fandom so unique. Throughout the various pub meetings that followed, the premise grew from a concept into a fully functioning business plan. Their mission was simple… to provide VW enthusiasts with a dedicated publication in which they can learn more about their beloved brand, and share their experiences with other VW devotees.
Fast forward to today, and Air-Style VW Magazine has surpassed expectations. Proud to pair their own passion with fellow VW enthusiasts - Air-Style VW’s success has stemmed from the creators being genuine fans of the brand. Each issue is packed with a combination of car based content and real life stories that educate, inform, and inspire.
