This may have been shared already and I’ve missed it but I came across this great story about a "Forest Find" 1955 VW Panel van in France.
I don’t know more than I’ve read so taking it at face value but it was all started by a chance meeting and quickly followed by a journey of discovery, resurrection and deliverance.
It’s really in the maverick spirit of DDK; one guy on a mission helped by a bunch of mates out to have fun doing something cool… It's a good read and I won’t spoil the whole story but the short film is worth 13m 37s of anybody’s time. Oh and wait for the few out-takes at the end too!
I hope that in the fullness of time the van will be restored.
It reminded me of the pocket money which I earned on Saturday mornings driving a 1958 VW Panel Van (it would have been little different from the van in the film), which belonged to the proprietor of a local general dealer/grocery store, in Bulawayo. The van was less than a year old at the time and I thoroughly enjoyed driving it - and as I was still in school, the money came in handy too!
Very cool, thanks for posting that. Beautifully shot. And lovely sound track too. Cool what people can do nowadays without the need for massive production budgets.
