What a beautiful "finale" to this series👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏👏

[@DominicChineas]

I am glad you enjoyed it, thanks for watching!

[@picklejar4886]

The people that bought the beetle are my parents and I assure all of you that they will take amazing care of the beetle! They’ve been looking after our ‘Doris’ a t2 that’s in mint condition after all the work my dad has put into it!

[@wellybobs4403]

If cars can have a soul, that one is happy again.

[@DominicChineas]

I think so, thanks

[@Beard.Buildzz]

What a series that was! Excellent work all round!

[@ulrichmuhlenkamp6351]

All parts of this series enjoyed that much - thank You sincerely for you excellent car work and filming - Ulrich from "Stromberger Veteranenfreunde, Baden-Wuerttemberg"

[@farmerjohn6192]

I loved this mini-series.

[@sonyvaioboy]

Absolutely loved this series. Been out the VW scene for probably 10 years now. Having seen your latest few series I’m now on the look out for a new car! Thank you

[@marknichols7861]

It looks like the UK has an incredible car culture and supporting small industry to keep them running! Watching your various series makes me feel like I’m visiting my buddies garage. Greetings from Southern Arizona.

[@DominicChineas]

Glad you are enjoying the videos, thank you

[@more.power.]

Great news mum must be happy

[@Gus247365]

Nice to see my old bus in the footage of the outside vehicles... KHT998E - I owned this MANY years ago and it was sold to someone who has clearly done a TONNE of work to it since I had it as a daily runner back in the mid 90's - Great to see it's still alive!!

[@pst3615]

I'm loving it, this makes me smile and reminiscing.

[@hotoilhands]

What a show. Seventh heaven for any VW-phile. That hand cranked cutaway engine was great. Something like that goes a long way to teaching young folks about how mechanical things work. It can really help spark an interest in mechanics.

[@clintonoconnor9224]

Love the 25 or 36hp cut-a-way engine

[@johndavey72]

Yikes ! Had no idea she was worth so much . Must have been quite emotional saying goodbye but so nice the new custodians are going to take good care.......now get on with that Porsche !!!!! Thanks Dom and thankyou Jon . 💕

[@Qspecialman]

Great news!!!! I hope the new owners enjoy that lovely oval, I'm sure they will.

[@DominicChineas]

They are indeed!

Good to see the Beetle running and finding a new home. Nice to see what’s left of the Porsche at the NEC too!

[@vayabroder729]

The car went to a nice home. Looks like the lady really appreciates it.

[@LowdownTransporters]

Great video. Thanks for throwing my split in there 😜 Chris.

[@DominicChineas]

Is yours the dove blue one? Amazing!

[@besenzon1]

Great Video Dom. Great to see that the Oval has gone to a good home 👌😎🤙👍

[@thomaspollock4274]

I was thinking a while back that you would have to vet the potential new owner to ensure it would be going to a good home. Mission accomplished. Well done.

[@DominicChineas]

It’s couldn’t have gone to a better home!

[@poorweld7724]

and now, after watching, .. Great show, coolest cars, perfect job, happiest new Beetle owners.

[@patrickhostler5939]

It’s so great that the new owners just want to enjoy it in its original form. Superb result ❤

[@brianthoresen8475]

Dom and Jon- great work on saving another classic. I am super excited/relieved to see that she will be going to a loving home. Fantastic work, fellas- And I hope that this is only the beginning of collaborations between you guys, your dynamic is fantastic…..it is obvious that you have been friends for a long time. Perhaps a sub-series with you two from time to time? Dom and Jon’s Classic-bash! Thanks for sharing! Brian “Thor” Thoresen

Hi Dom & John, What can you say Fantastic enjoyed every minute, Great show, All the best Brian 😃

[@DominicChineas]

Thanks so much Brian

[@SanDiego_VDubLife]

This is so awesome. So sad that you had to sell it, but at least you got to meet the new owner and hopefully will be able to stay in touch. The VolkWorld show looks awesome. Pretty sweet cars there. I have been seeing a few other videos from folks who went as well. Love seeing the slammed busses, they look so cool. I would never drop mine that low, so it's cool to see other people do it for me. jaaa😁

[@johnweatherby5951]

We've been following your work on the bug and enjoyed each video, great to meet you and John at the NEC restoration show yesterday, Enjoyed our chat about the bug and the Porsche, all the best with panel van and the Porsche. cheers John and daughter Kate (mustang jacket)

[@george-1961]

Glad all parties are now happy. Can you please please carry on with the speedster 🤞🏻

[@jonathanb3458]

Fully confess I can't see the attraction of VWs but well done on the restoration. Hopefully some more progress on the Porsche to come, along with another appearance from Wendy.

It’s a lot of money but it’s a rare car, you’d struggle to find another one for sale!

@@DominicChineas I,ve been out of touch on the car market for ages, and it obviously shows now I’ve looked the ol V-Dubs up again, a rare beasty indeed. Keep the vids coming Dom, am loving the Ranalah revival, I’d love to have a go at that.

Thank you for watching

[@sashas8168]

Congrats on the sale, appears to be going to a good home.

[@johnsholian4318]

Mixed feelings for sure. Happy for your Mum and the new owners as I’m sure the sale will help her out and the new owners are getting a beautifully resuscitated oval with a rich history, but sad to see it leave the family. Well done you two. Hopefully you got some inspiration for the 356 as it’s time to crack on with that again!

[@kategoacher6222]

Brilliant! ❤️

Hi dom really loved your videos on the oval Great to see it going to a good home where it will be loved and used vws get under your skin it can be hard to let them go but it's a new lease of life for her

I Was Hoping The New Owner Would Mess With You & Say The Plan Is To Chop & Slam Or BajaThat Amazing Oval!! 🤣

I don't think those lowered campers would get 5 miles here in West Cumbria. Either the speed humps, potholes or humpback bridges would do for them.😁

[@neilgillies6943]

@@DominicChineas LOL, 80286 was a CPU (Central Processing Unit) - known as the Intel 286 used in the first PC - nothing to do with a VW Beetle of course, pretty much a sad fact - hence the 286 CPU comment - maybe I need to get out more :-)

[@paulkeenan59]

Is it just me or did anyone else find it out seeing John out in the wild among other people. That is probably not the right turn of phrase and I mean no disrespect to Honest John but it was different. Great episode though.
