### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ A must buy
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 9 February 2026*

A must buy for any classic VW enthusiast. Perfectly illustrated and quite humerous.

### ⭐⭐⭐⭐⭐ The must-have guide to fixing your classic VW
*by  on Reviewed in the United Kingdom 11 April 2025*

How could I give this anything less than five stars?If you own a classic VW, this book is a must-have. In fact, maybe get yourself two copies: one for the workshop and one to keep in the car (for when you break down).The information is incredibly useful and clearly explained. Sure, the diagrams are black and white and hand-drawn, but that’s part of the charm.A fantastic resource and a great book all around.
