Fiona




The Blackhills Tour Company have several Volkswagens in their fleet of vehicles used in conducting their tours.  The most interesting is Fiona.  Fabricated from several buses as well as a Beetle she is perhaps most deserving of the model designation Kombi.

The village of Equihen-Plage had been a fishing village on the French coast until their harbor dried up at the beginning of the 20th century.  Poor families living in the village recycled the boat hulls to build themselves shelters.

1965 Datsun Baby


A two passenger coupe with a 200cc engine and an automatic transmission.  It had a top speed of 18 mph! While that seems to render it useless as motorized transportation it was very well received for its intended purpose. See additional information on the Datsun Baby here.
