Lots of people book euro cover for a single trip or annual cover - when you are looking at what is available I would suggest you don't bother looking at Green Flag as they do not do what they are supposed to do...like give some help when you break down

Mike and I saw an ad for a one owner '54 VW Splitty Barn Door - well what else could we do...only it was in Sweden. Still bought it though!! So we arranged to collect it and needed euro cover. Cutting a looooong adventure short we needed Green Flags help at 2am in heavy snow and in minus ten conditions as one of the wheels (inclluding hub) fell off our four wheel trailer in Denmark. We called Green Flag...waited three hours with no sign of help and not even a phone call so we called Green Flag again. We were told we'd get a call in five mins but after an hour it started to get light so we sorted things as best we could and continued hoping that the Danish old bill didnt pull us up again...they didnt and we made it home with three wheels on our trailer!!

If you want to give Green Flag money do not expect ANYTHING in return. Their customer service department could be run better by our pet hamster...and that died years ago....

That's good to know, pleased you both got home ok

Pictures of the purchase?

I've always used AA 5 star cover & the one time I needed them, they were fantastic. A lot of the others have a car age limit which you need to be careful of.

please remember that this is a 'next-to-barn' find...like this bus spent 30 years outside in Sweden

There will be a feature on our adventure in Ultra VW if any one reads that on here.

This is without doubt the craziest project we have ever taken on....

I robbed the pics from here http://dtavw.com/2013/02/12/barndoor-fever/ as my pics from the trip will not upload due to size

Looks like you are going to be busy

Bit of wet n dry and couple of cans of dupli colour and it'll be good as new

That should polish out OK

I agree with Sean...you are going to be busy. Good luck with that one.

That 345 look nice as well. I use to own one, lovely cars, any pics of that one?

Ace cars indeed. Most of the pics I have are too big to upload but have a look here http://dtavw.com/
