Hayburner Steel Bottle Opener

How the magazine started. Hayburner began with a chat around a campfire with friends about how the UK economy was affecting the VW scene. At the time the editor, Ned, was trading at autojumbles to pay the rent. The idea was a free magazine for the community, low advertising rates for businesses, and work for feature writers and photographers. The name is an old 1950s hot-rodders' term for a car that will always cost you money.

Back issues. We stock Issue 38 (Summer 2021) and Issue 33 (Spring 2020), both from the years when the printed magazine was free. Each is full of air-cooled builds and VW and Porsche features, and makes a good read between jobs on your own car.

For the garage and the bar. The Steel Bottle Opener is British made and 13cm long. The Beer Mat Coasters come as a set of four for the workshop or the living room, and the Black and Gold Lanyard has the Hayburner logo and web address printed in gold, with a metal clip for your keys.

Any of these makes a simple gift for an air-cooled VW owner. Shop more gifts for car enthusiasts and books, magazines and calendars.
