Hannes Schnetler '59 Ragtop Rotary in March 09 CAR
Excellent article by Stuart Johnston in the latest issue of CAR magazine. The scans below are only for our international friends, so don't be a cheapskate and do the right thing - go and buy the magazine yourself! (Henry, I'm including a copy in your goodies box )

The last time that CAR featured a nice early Beetle was in March 1990 - The original Blitzkrieg Beetle

Still have a mint and a trashed copy of the March 1990 CAR.
Posted the scans on here somewhere, a long time ago.

I read this article. It is awesome. They say that it has "shaved rain channels", but it still seems to have them or am I missing something?

Re: Hannes Schnetler '59 Ragtop Rotary in March 09 CAR
There is another person in Zeerust who also has a Rotary fitted 60's beetle. His name is Chris Wellman or something like that. Also a very nice job and his has been running for ages.

There is also another Rotary powered early 60's Beetle in Witbank. Also Restored by Hannes Schnetler. Two-tone Light/Dark brown with matching 5Spoke EMPI's. Very nice too!
