I already have 2 and only one beetle.....Mrs DD would go mad!
I have however, contacted the seller to see if he still has it and what I'm thinking is, if I get it for peanuts.....then I will sell on the site and the you lot only have to pay the shipping charges!
I was more thinking of people doing something special and then I judge who is worthy that way it's not down to who's on line at the time......owner has not come back yet!
Not only is it about the cost of insurance, but the (potential) cost of replacing panels etc after accident damage. Being in the UK, there is more easily available parts etc etc etc......
isnt it amazing how europeans have no problem shipping anything to so south africa , i myself have sold parts to sa ,
however when i needed to order parts for my sp1600 its taken three years due to the atitude and lack of trust despite my willingness to pay upfront , and just to make you all ill i pay £175.00 sterling for agreed value of £100.000 for my sp as its unique in europe and no insurance company recognises it and thats not a mistype lol

I don't think anyone in the UK is better off. But... in first world countries with larger market caps there is more competition and therefore much less "ripping off". There are a few big firms that dominate each market segment here. If I am not happy with some monopolists service/prices in SA its just a matter of tough luck.
All said and done I would not want to be anywhere other than in SA, and I am Proudly South Africa

Yeah that's true. South Africans have a problem sending parts but no problem sending whole vehicles
What the f#Ck are you whining about kevin? I've offered to send you the stuff that you need from here in exchange for some goodies from there, you didnt take me up on my offer? I even mentioned it in your thread!

I'm not so sure.....it's been a nightmare getting Mo & Bobbie here and that was all on the South African side! I haven't even started the fun over here in getting MOT and registering here with the DVLA.
