Re: 1954 Oval Beetle
That is a RHD, so cant be a US import! But very Pretty none the less!

Re: 1954 Oval Beetle
It looks more like a 57 from the position and shape of the sunroof. The front indicators must have been added; they were US spec 55-57. Also it's lost its W decklid. I wonder if it was SA assembled? That makes three RHD oval ragtops that I've ever seen in SA.
