這台出生於1973年的1303S甲蟲車，起初由澳門運送到香港是為了進行一項全面翻新的工程。要說起這台甲蟲車的故事，就讓我們從一口螺絲開始說起......

通過以下的圖片確確實實地告訴了大家一件事——-真正熱愛珍藏古董車的車主是可以如此瘋狂地翻新一台愛驅的，同樣地告訴了大家一個更重要的原則——只有這樣徹底地翻新這台古董甲蟲車，車主才可以真正享受到駕駛這台車的樂趣。

目前，大部份珍藏古董車的車主都以為購買一輛近五十年歷史的古董車回來就可以馬上使用，然後短時間內車主就會發現許多大大小小的毛病，從而不斷地作出小修小補。過去的經驗告訴了我們這樣玩車不但享受不了開古董車的樂趣而且是十分危險的。因為當引擎、波箱、剎車系統及油箱等方面出現問題時，導致任何意外發生都不是開玩笑的。

這台甲蟲車的車主，起初買回來從表面看車况算是不錯的，但當車殼被拆開後，馬上看到這台車的一些陰暗面，經商討後我們最後決定由大樑、地台、引擎、波箱、半軸、剎車系統、車身及車內做一個全面翻新工程，由一口螺絲到尋找零件配件再到裝嵌，最後展示在大家面前的這台「藝術品」總共花了長達一年時間之多。

今天這台甲蟲車有幸參與是次展覽，希望借這難得的機會和愛珍藏車的你們分享及交流一下翻新古董車是可以這樣玩的，更重要的是希望籍此機會能提高本地珍藏古董車的水準。

This 1973 Beetle was shipped from Macau to Hong Kong for a full refurbishment, which was carried out thoroughly from a nail. The following pictures show you the way of refurbishment by an owner who really love treasure cars. Just by doing this, the owner enjoys the real fun of driving a treasure car. Most car owners now hold an idea that, a car of nearly 50 years old can be put into use as soon as it was bought. But they will only find a lot of minor problems, which need repairs constantly. Instead of being enjoyable, such driving is rather dangerous. Accident caused by engine, gearbox, brake or fuel tank is no joke. This Beetle belongs to its first owner, and looks good apparently. However, with the shell removed, some shadows were revealed. In the end, we decided to make a full refurbishment, starting from the frame, floor, engine, gearbox, and axles to the brake system, including car body and interior. The work took nearly a year. Now it is shared with you, and hoped to improve the level of local treasure cars.
