Using the term "VW Splitscreen Camper" in the heading he certainly hopes to attract searchers from elsewhere. (None of those are campers). Further states that: "We can assist with arranging export on these vehicles, we are very familiar with the export process".

Interesting that there are a few panelvans having side doors on both sides. These do'nt have the Australian style cooling air intakes, just the upper breathing slots.


Staying Aircooled is so much nicer.

Anyone interested in doing some test drives with me when I'm back in the country? :D

This guy is hilarious. The bus is now R135k, read his story:
http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-cars-bakkies ... 0815492509

Since when is a car "sold" when it hasn't been paid for? Funny how it's always the buyer who didn't come up with the cash; never this seller not coming up with the papers or anything like that ...

Current location on most of his ads is 77 Webber Road Germiston. Are there any locals interested in dropping by and seeing what's there and maybe speaking to someone?

It looks like most of his recent sales have fallen victim to "TIME WASTERS". Even Megan's paperless R500k Fleetline is back up on gumtree, still advertised as a 60s bus. :roll:

He started with a rash of immaculate (in the photographs) baywindow buses at asking prices between R150k-R200k, which seemed to have all sold quite quickly (at least the ads didn't stay up for long.

But his current crop, including the yellow 71, Megan's old Fleetline and a silver Karmann Ghia are not selling. Whenever the ads are removed, they're followed a few days later with a new price and the "TIME WASTER" story.

I've also noticed he's reworded some of his ads following comments on this site, so he may well be a lurker here, as some have suggested.

It's very strange, Fig, that nobody on the forum has been to see these kombi's - or will admit to it. Almost unbelievable...

The guy's a slow learner but he does seem to get it eventually ... for the first time he's posted his phone number. Getting desperate?

From his new ad for the yellow bus (now R125k):
http://www.gumtree.co.za/a-cars-bakkies ... 0815492509

"Please contact +2761 832 6599 to view all 3 vintage kombi's and the Karmann Ghia in Albermale, Germiston."

So here is their website - once again nobody's name appears - contact only via an email address. They got somebody to write them some very impressive advertising copy on the website, which does not seem to translate into sales it seems...

That phone number also links to a certain "Werner Kruger", or "wernerkruger17". Advertises vehicles, (sometimes Alfas), for export overseas.
