I met a gentleman in a VW beetle. On his dashboard was written : “During the drive don´t jump out of the car” (….) He showed me a VW Cabrio roof canvas made by himself. I was impressed and decided to give him the order. His work as delivered was perfect and La Reina Negra drove more than 20 years with this roof canvas.

THE ENGINE

In the beginning I didn´t know much about engines. I started to take off the parts around the engine. The engine itself was a mystery to me. The car was brought to the garage “Slootjes” after I failed to get it to start. In the daytime I was at school and in the afternoon I had to do my homework.



This meant I had only time to help the mecanics in the garage on Saturday mornings.

On the 7th of December 1982 the engine finally worked. In the meanwhile the engine was painted in it´s original green colour. It all looked great but La Reina Negra still had a long way to go before it was finished.
