Product description

ClassicVW TECH is a series of technical books about the air-cooled Volkswagen.

Unlike most technical manuals, ClassicVW TECH starts from the assumption that the reader has no previous technical knowledge or practical experience. The air-cooled VW is explained as never before. In a simple yet structured way. After reading the ClassicVW TECH series, the reader will have a good basic knowledge to better feel and understand his classic VW.

This series is based on years of technical experience of the author, who, like most of us, started with the basics. The author can always refer back to basic concepts of automotive engineering and of the air-cooled VW, in such a way that the reader can very easily understand what it all means.

Never before has a technical manual been so simply written and with the sole underlying objective: "to allow the enthusiast of the VW Beetle, Karmann Ghia, Type 3, VW 411/412 or VW Bus to enjoy his hobby."

ClassicVW TECH consists of several volumes, each volume has a specific theme. The ClassicVW TECH books are finished with hard covers in deluxe finish and count 128 pages per volume.

Below is a brief overview of the contents of each volume.
