Aircooled VW South Africa

Here is my latest addition. Its a 1975 Fleetline, but what makes this bus special is its originality. It has its original paint and interior.

This bus has belonged to 2 previous forum members and I'm very glad its now mine to be preserved further. Its in excellent mechanical condition and has a lovely motor rebuild by Bill Noble. I was even able to just switch on the heater on my way home.


Here are a few pics from last weekend when I went to take a look at it.


















It was from upcountry, Parys originally I believe, but its previous owner had just moved to the Cape, so that saved me a trip up to JHB. It was just a lovely 160km away and we took the scenic road back along the coast. It really drives well.















More detailed pics to follow soon.

Nice find and a real nice condition.

I know the bus
You are a lucky man

Hey, this is your fault. You came and showed up with that lovely original single cab and I made a mistake not to buy it. Then you come and carry on about this lovely original fleetline you had seen...

I couldn't make the same mistake again
