Since Bob outed us <G>.....I  guess we can let you all in on the good news.

Ever since Jill attended  the Michigan Invasion on 2008 and saw her first 
Type 34 Ghia she has lusted  one.  Seeing Doug's at the 2010 Invasion only 
reinforced that  desire.  This spring, things aligned budget-wise and we put 
the word out  that we were looking for a Type 34 for her.  We watched the 
Samba,  checked out a few leads from Lee Hedges, and then Lee came through with 
the  car we bought.

The car is great.  As Bob mentioned we are getting  it from the son of the 
original owner.  We have the original Georgia  title issues in 1967!  The 
car was restored by the husband of the owner  in the early 90s as a birthday 
present for her 75th birthday.

Here are  some links to a few pictures.  These were taken by the owner's 
son.....we  are still waiting for it to be shipped up from Georgia (which is 
making Jill  crazy <G>).   Hoping it is here in time for a debut at the  
Michigan Vintage Festival next  weekend.

The  cars needs very little done to it.  We will tweak a few things and 
Jill  will be driving it regularly.  We are really looking forward to having  
our own little caravan to the 2012 Invasion next year.  <G>




Sorry about that John. I just found out yesterday, while looking thru T34  
World, and saw the little paragraph or 2 that Lee Hedges wrote. I was hoping 
you  already had it home, and was detailing it out. Didn't mean to steal 
your  "thunder", but it sure looks like a nice car, and I think Jill will 
really enjoy  it. 
 
Yes Brian, I am a little jealous. He didn't have to completely tear his  
down, and go thru it before he could drive it. : )
