VEEP Brochure and Assembly Instructions

• CATEGORIES: Advertising & Brochures, Features, VEEP (VW Jeep), Scamp, Others This site contains affiliate links for which I may be compensated.

Paul was kind enough to share this very rare Hadley Engineering VEEP brochure in the hopes that it helps the VEEP owners out there who struggle to find information about their vehicle. Below are photos of the basic brochure. I also have assembly instructions that I haven’t scanned yet. Great stuff! One unique item I hadn’t notice before was the stamped ‘VEEP’ in the hood. I’ve never seen that in any production VEEPs. If you ever run across a hood with VEEP stamped in it, I’d be interested to get some photos.
