How it all came about

Hazelarmstrong.com, was founded by Quentin Lau in 2001.

I started the restoration project at the age of 19 with absolutely not a clue about restoration or mechanics as such. Throughout the process I gradually realised that I had a profound interest in Mechanical Engineering. This eventually led to the completion of a Bachelor of Mechanical Engineering, which I started in the final year of the rebuilt. Now, 15+ years and four kids later there's a lot less free time to spent on tinkering with old cars. However, I still love my air-cooled Volkswagens, so don't hesitate to contact me if you have any technical questions.

My wife Annemarie runs our kombi hire business as she loves to attend to people's special days and make them as perfect as she can with our Kombi. Please feel free to get in touch with us in relation to your special day and get an obligation free quote:
