ClassicVW TECH is a series of technical books on the air-cooled Volkswagen.
Unlike most technical manuals, ClassicVW TECH assumes that the reader does not yet have technical knowledge or practical experience. The air-cooled VW is presented like never before. In a simple but structured way. After reading the ClassicVW TECH series, the reader has 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 to the basic concepts of automotive technology and air-cooled VW so that the reader can very easily understand what all this means.
Never before has a technical manual been written in such a simple way and with the only underlying objective: "to let the Beetle enthusiast VW, Karmann Ghia, type 3, VW 411/412 or VW Bus enjoy his or her hobby".
ClassicVW TECH consists of several volumes, each volume has a specific theme. ClassicVW TECH books are finished with a hard cover in a luxury version and have 128 pages per volume.
